MIAMI – UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley is keeping an eye on what’s happening at 145 pounds.
The neighboring weight class of the 135-pound champ has caught his attention with the change in command at the top. Last month at UFC 298, Ilia Topuria knocked out Alexander Volkanovski to crown himself champion and propel his name to stardom in Spain.
O’Malley (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who defends his belt against Marlon Vera (21-8-1 MMA, 15-7 UFC) this Saturday at UFC 299, liked what he saw from Topuria and is interested in facing him in a champion vs. champion superfight down the line.
