Sean O’Malley and Ilia Topuria have plenty of work to do in their respective divisions, but they’re already angling a potential fight down the line.
O’Malley just won the UFC bantamweight title earlier this month at UFC 292 and Topuria is in contention, and likely the next in line, for Alexander Volkanovski’s UFC featherweight belt.
Although in different situations, the two are young, elite talent in their respective weight classes, and if all goes to plan, both O’Malley and Topuria see themselves crossing paths in the future.
Check out below to see their back-and-forth interactions on Twitter.
Topuria says O’Malley has work to do
I see this fight as too easy of a challenge, I would like to find convincing reasons to face you, but at the moment, I can’t seem to find anything that captures my atención .Keep rising and let’s see if someday you deserve my time. https://t.co/cllg3YCFX3
