After his unanimous decision win over Marlon Vera at UFC 299, bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley expressed his desire for a champ vs. champ bout with UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria in Spain.
Sean O’Malley, the reigning bantamweight champ, had a clear-cut win over Marlon Vera at UFC 299. His eyes are now set on a champ vs. champ clash with UFC featherweight king Ilia Topuria, preferably in Spain.
But the question is, will “Sugar” get what he wants? Or is he destined to lock horns with the top contender, Merab Dvalishvili?
Mike Heck from MMA Fighting and guest host Jed Meshew are all about dissecting O’Malley’s stellar win. They’re also throwing around ideas on what’s next for Vera. They didn’t stop there, though. They also chatted about potential future bouts for Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint Denis. Especially after Poirier’s knockout victory that stole the show.
Michael Page’s octagon debut win over Kevin Holland also got a mention. As did Jack Della Maddalena‘s dramatic comeback victory against Gilbert Burns. And let’s not forget former champ Petr Yan, who’s back in the game after defeating Song Yadong. All this and more from the unforgettable event.
