Khabib Nurmagomedov Says Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Sean O’Malley Can Wait

"Merab needs to get his rematch in April or May (against Petr Yan)," the ex-lightweight champion said. He wants Umar and O’Malley to face other opponents first: ‘Whoever gets the more impressive win earns title shot.’ Khabib added, "As a matchmaker, I wouldn’t make Umar vs. O’Malley yet [because] UFC loses a star (at bantamweight)," warning that Umar beats O'Malley.
