After securing his victory over Marlon Vera at UFC 299, O’Malley sent out his callout to Ilia Topuria asking for a title bout in Spain. “Dana, give me a jet to Spain baby, I’m coming for Ilia Topuria.” He said in the post-fight interview. “. . . I want Ilia baby, give me Ilia.” 

Topuria promptly responded on X congratulating the champ and asked him to give Merab Dvalishvili his pending fight before challenging him for a double-champ status. So, perhaps, the most worthy fighter is still the former champ, Alexander Volkanovski who is ready and raring to go for a rematch. What are your thoughts?
