against Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu

The Azerbaijani prospect, who’s riding a nine-fight winning streak
with six finishes since 2022, made his intentions clear ahead of
his Octagon debut. He’s looking to finish Uulu and then fight
closer to home, in Abu Dhabi, when the UFC heads to the United Arab
Emirates on Oct. 24.

“I hope I finish him easily,” Osmanli said at media day ahead of

UFC Vegas 121. “And then I want to fight Abu Dhabi card,
October 24. Maybe Top 15 someone…”

Osmanli was then asked who he would like to fight in the Top 15 at
135 pounds, naming former champ O’Malley as a favorable
matchup.

“I can beat easy Sean O’Malley.”
