UFC lightweight division No. 1 ranked fighter Merab Dvalishvili has once again spoken out regarding his looming title fight with champion Sean O'Malley.

"I respect Sean as a fighter, he is a great athlete. It's a big challenge for me, I've wanted to fight him for six years now. He's tall, fast, can knockout, great on the feet. It's a tough fight for me and I'm ready for it, even though I don't consider it an easy fight.

I talked to Dana White just a little bit. We said hello, he told me, "You're next." We all know it's my turn.

I'm sure I'll fight Shawn. It's stupid of him to ignore my name. If this fight happens, it could be a huge success for him. I don't want to harass him or disrespect him," Dvalishvili told TMZ Sports.
