The bantamweight champion called on Dana White to make a fight against Spain's Ilia Topuria

Sean O'Malley retained his bantamweight title after a victory over Marlon Vera at UFC 299 - and used his post-fight speech to call on Dana White to make a superfight a reality.However, O'Malley was given a unanimous victory on the scorecards by the three judges at the side of the octagon, with scores of 50-45, 50-45, and 50-44.It means O'Malley's impressive UFC record stands with one no contest and only one defeat, which he suffered at the hands of Vera in 2020 at UFC 252.

Whenever a fighter successfully defends their title, one question which inevitably crops up is who they have next on the horizon as a fresh challenger emerges.And O'Malley used his post-fight speech in the octagon as he spoke to commentator Joe Rogan to issue a call to UFC presidenton the next fighter he wants to take on to defend his title - and also where he wants the fight to take place.

"He's a scary f*****g dude, Ilia, he excites me, going up a weight class excites me, but honestly I'm here for whatever.
