O'Malley challenged Topuria.

UFC flyweight champion Sean O'Malley commented on his win over Marlon Vera in the main event of UFC 299, and also expressed his desire to share the octagon with division titleholder Elijah Topuria.

"I felt like I broke something with a knee strike to Vera. Chin or nose, I don't know. Marlon is a tough opponent. I'm okay, though. I'm glad I closed out the defeat. Now everyone can admit I'm undefeated.

Dana, get me a plane to Spain, I'm going after Elijah Topuria. I don't care if he wants it or not. Give me him. He's a dangerous opponent, I want to move up in weight. If it doesn't work out, still - I won't refuse to knockout Merab Dvalishvili," O'Malley said in an interview with Joe Rogan.
