Sean O'Malley believes he is the biggest threat to UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan. Yan retained his title by defeating Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 333. O'Malley is confident he will be the next title challenger, citing his recent wins over Song Yadong and Aiemann Zahabi, and his past victory over Yan. He argues that a rematch with Yan would be the biggest bantamweight fight in UFC history.
O'Malley expressed his confidence on 'The Ariel Helwani Show' and Daniel Cormier's podcast, stating that Yan recognizes the challenge he poses. Despite the UFC not yet announcing Yan's next opponent, O'Malley is adamant that his fight with Yan is inevitable.
