Sean O’Malley offers dim forecast for fellow UFC champion Ilia Topuria: “Gonna be the next Cody Garbrandt”

O’Malley goes after Topuria

“Ilia, yeah I tweeted ‘how the f*** is Ilia above me on the pound-for-pound, he’s five inches shorter and has less title defenses’. Those are just facts. I wasn’t trying to be funny, I was stating facts. I got a lot of hate for it, people saying ‘bro, he should be, he beat Volk’. Buddy, I really couldn’t give a f*** less where I am on the pound-for-pound.

“Ilia is gonna be the next Cody Garbrandt. He won his nice little fight, he had his little Dominick Cruz performance. He’s about to get pieced up by Max Holloway, and then it’ll go downhill from there.

“Not really – I feel like Ilia is one of the most skilled guys actually in the UFC, but f*** Ilia.”
