Sean O’Malley Drops Surprising Revelation About His First Encounter Against Merab Dvalishvili
Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili
Sean O’Malley will finally get his chance at redemption in June 2025. O’Malley, who was the former bantamweight champion, lost his title when he faced the Georgian Merab Dvalishvili. While the bout was expected to be an interesting affair, it turned out to be a stylistic nightmare. With Dvalishvili’s tactical wrestling masterclass, O’Malley was found wanting throughout the fight. However, as the rematch has been announced, ‘Suga’ has vowed to come back stronger than ever.
After Dana White announced UFC 316’s main event, Sean O’Mailey seemed quite confident. Speaking on his chances, the former champion stated that he came into his previous fight with Dvalishvili with a groin injury. However, exuding confidence, O’Malley vows to come prepared this time.
“I’m going to be 70% better than I was in that first fight. I’m going to be significantly more mobile, agile, better shape. I’m gonna fight at my full potential,” said O’Malley.
