UFC lightweight champion Sean O'Malley said that he would not mind in the future to compete with the winner of a potential fight between Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov.
Earlier it became known, representatives of the American and the Dagestani are negotiating a fight at the end of June.
"Sandhagen is a very dangerous opponent. I'm a fan of his style. I think he will probably fight Umar. At least that's what I've heard. I will defeat Dvalishvili in my next fight, and then I will probably face the winner. If I had to look into the future, I think that would be it.
If Corey goes out and gets a spectacular win, it will make him a star. To be honest, I've never seen Umar in action, but I've seen a bunch of Corey fights. They can sell this fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Sandhagen wins," MMA Mania quoted O'Malley as saying.
