O'Malley said at the press conference:
Dana, give me a jet to Spain baby, I'm coming for Ilia Topuria. I want Ilia baby, give me Ilia. He's a scary f*cking dude. Ilia excites me, going up a weight class excites me. But I'm, honestly, I'm here for whatever, if you guys want me to knock out Merab [Dvalishvili] I'll do that too.
