Nurmagomedov spoke about meeting O'Malley in the restroom

UFC lightweight division fighter Umar Nurmagomedov spoke about his bathroom encounter with the organization's featherweight champion Sean O'Malley.

"During the tournament when Aljamain Sterling and Henry Sejudo were fighting, I went to the restroom to wash my hands, forearms, face, feet before praying. As I was doing voodoo, O'Malley came into the restroom. He saw me but didn't say anything. After I finished, he told me he was surprised to see someone in the restroom washing their feet. We talked for a while. I told him that I had heard how good he thought of me and thanked him. We respect each other and I hope we fight like Khabib and Conor," Nurmagomedov told ESPN MMA.
