UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria said he's not worried about his fight against Sean O'Malley being irrelevant.
Last weekend at UFC 306 in Las Vegas, USA, the American lost a unanimous decision to Merab Dvalishvili and forfeited his lightweight division title.
"I'm not worried about the fight with O'Malley being scrapped. There's always a fight that can get even louder. The same goes for Paddy Pimblett, for example. It might seem like a great fight, but once you get defeated... Why would I fight you if you're losing before you even meet me. I might as well not fight as people will already know I'm better," Marca quoted Topuria as saying.
