Sean O'Malley reacts to Ilia Topuria's disinterest in fighting Arman Tsarukyan next

Ilia Topuria became the new lightweight champion by defeating Charles Oliveira at UFC 317. Since then, Topuria has expressed a greater interest in fighting Paddy Pimblett rather than the no. 1-ranked contender, Arman Tsarukyan.

In a recent discussion on the Overdogs Podcast with Mike Perry, Sean O'Malley shared his thoughts on the current situation regarding the UFC lightweight title picture, saying:

"It just depends on where Ilia’s head’s at. Does he want to just go out there and say, 'Hey, I want the next best guy?' I feel like he’s kinda past that. He’s kinda like, who’s the biggest fight? What’s gonna [get] the most attention? And in his mind, it’s not Arman right now. So, I kinda get where he’s coming from. Why risk it against someone that’s not super popular, who’s very, very, very dangerous? Arman’s very dangerous. So, I kinda get that from Ilia’s perspective."
