Oktagon’s bantamweight champion Jonas Magard has picked out two UFC fighters he wants next after his fight this weekend against challenger Felipe Lima.
The pair of them fight at Oktagon 45 on Saturday, as part of a double-header shown live on DAZN, starting this Friday.
Magard appeared on The DAZN MMA Show to discuss his upcoming fight, and was asked which three fights he would like from any franchise.
After picking his scheduled clash with Lima, he named two UFC fighters, “Sugar” Sean O’Malley and former bantamweight champion Petr Yan.
He said:”I think Lima, this one, I think that’s a good fight, and then I would say "Sugar" Sean, just because he’s so long, and tall, a different fighter.
“And then of course the king of violence, Petr Yan. His style is brutal. His nickname is "No Mercy" and he really throws down, so those are the ones.”
O’Malley is set to fight Aljamain Sterling for the UFC bantamweight championship at UFC 292 next month.
You can watch both nights of Oktagon 45 live on DAZN, and viewers in Italy, Austria and Germany can also watch UFC 291 and 292 on DAZN.
