O'Malley advises Dvalishvili not to avoid Nurmagomedov

Former UFC lightweight champion Sean O'Malley believes that the new holder of the title should not turn down a fight with undefeated division prospect Umar Nurmagomedov.

"Bro, didn't you learn anything from that Aljo incident? You can't just say, 'I'm not going to fight Umar.' You're the champion, he's the challenger. Am I supposed to give you advice? Never argue with the UFC brass. They say fight Umar, fight Umar. You don't want to fight Umar - don't expect to have good relations with the UFC," said O'Malley on his YouTube channel.

Dvalishvili defeated Nurmagomedov by unanimous decision last weekend in the main event of UFC 306 in Las Vegas, USA.
