Welcome to today's edition of Sportskeeda's daily MMA News Roundup, where we present the biggest UFC updates and other stories from the world of mixed martial arts.
In today's issue, we talk about a certain UFC veteran backing YouTuber KSI over Bellator middleweight Dillon Danis, Sean O'Malley confirming that he's fighting for the UFC bantamweight title, and more.
#3 Former UFC fighter picks KSI over Dillon Danis
Brendan Schaub is confident that YouTuber KSI will beat Dillon Danis in their upcoming boxing match.
After several months of bickering on Twitter, a date has finally been set for a sanctioned matchup between KSI and Danis.
On paper, Danis should have the advantage due to his experience as a professional fighter. However, Brendan Schaub pointed out that Danis isn't necessarily a proven striker. With that in mind, Schaub said:
"Dillon's not exactly known for his striking. Obviously if it was a jiu-jitsu competition, [he would have] submitted him in three seconds. But it's not."
Catch Brendan Schaub's comments below:
The fight was announced during last week's Misfits Boxing 3 broadcast. Danis faced off with KSI after the YouTuber called him out.
#2 Sean O'Malley confirms he'll fight for the UFC bantamweight title
Sean O'Malley has claimed that his next fight will be for the UFC bantamweight title.
The top-ranked bantamweight contender recently told ESPN that he met up with Dana White and Sean Shelby to discuss his future. He also revealed that the bosses have committed to giving him a title shot for his next fight:
"I know my next fight is for the title."
However, 'Sugar' admitted that he still doesn't know who he will fight for the belt. He added that he's targeting a return in July 2023.
Reigning bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling is expected to take some time off. According to O'Malley, 'Funk Master' could also fight one more time before he gets his title opportunity.
#1 Donald Trump slammed by fans for unusual reaction to Conor McGregor's leg break
