Following his one-sided win over Marlon “Chito” Vera in the UFC 299 main event, bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley called out featherweight titleholder Ilia Topuria.
“Dana, get me a jet to Spain, baby, I’m coming for Ilia Topuria,” O’Malley said immediately following the unanimous decision win over Vera. During the event’s post-fight press conference, UFC CEO Dana White shot down O’Malley’s efforts to face Topuria.
White replied: “I have no idea about moving divisions.” “You already know my feelings about it.” Topuria said he wouldn’t fight anyone else in the division if he won the title. It’s insane to talk like that.
