Former UFC flyweight champion Sean O'Malley spoke out about the upcoming fight between current belt holder Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov, and also outlined the timeline for his return to the octagon.

"Ideally, Merab beats Umar and I get a rematch. But if Umar wins, then my opponent will be Umar. That's what I want next - a title fight. Hopefully in the middle of next year," O'Malley is quoted by MMA Fighting as saying.

Recall that the fight Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov will take place on January 18 at UFC 311 in Los Angeles, California.
