Ahead of his own return at Noche UFC later this year, undisputed bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley claims fellow champion, Islam Makhachev is the cream of the crop within the promotion — beating out current heavyweight champion, Jon Jones amid his continued sidelining from the Octagon.
O’Malley, the current undisputed bantamweight champion, is slated to return in the main event of Noche UFC next month at the Las Vegas Sphere, taking on surging number one ranked challenger, Merab Dvalishvili in a highly-anticipated title fight in ‘Sin City’.
As for Makhachev, the undisputed lightweight champion is sidelined from the Octagon amid an unspecified amr injury — ruling him from a planned title rematch with the streaking, Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 308 at the end of October in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
