Merab Dvalishvili has turned the doppelgänger of Sean O’Malley into his own personal marionette, pulling the strings with each hilarious post, making the look-alike dance to his tunes, and performing absurd acts. But just as the UFC community thought they had seen the best O’Malley look alike, another figure emerged on the internet. This time, it wasn’t some random imitator pulled from the streets; it was a female combat sports athlete; Valgerdur Gudsteindottir. Notably, she recently fought at the Callum Walsh vs. Przemyslaw Runowski event. Like a reflection in a warped mirror, her uncanny resemblance to Sean O’Malley sent the UFC fans going bananas.
With the UFC taking a brief pause, Dana White, ever the conductor of combat sports, flew to Ireland for the Callum Walsh fight and promoted it alongside 360 Boxing. Much like every event, White took to the UFC platform, promoting the event with his usual flair. As the fighters tuned up for battle, White, as always, shared a glimpse of what was happening behind the scenes. But this time, when he posted a video of Gudsteindottir preparing, it made fans go wild.
In the video, she sported pink hair braided just like O’Malley’s signature style, strikingly resembling the UFC star. It didn’t take long for fans to notice the uncanny similarity. Consequently, they started comparing the two and turned the post into a buzzworthy talking point.
One fan reacted to the post, saying, “I thought Sean already fought.” Meanwhile, one gave O’Malley’s nickname a twist and called her “Salt O’Malley.” Some called her a combination of Valentina Shevchenko and Suga, and some mocked her for losing against Merab Dvalishvili. Indeed, fans turned the comment section wild.

Shauna O’Keefe moved to 3-0 with a fourth-round stoppage of Valgerdur Gudsteinsdottir, who was bloodied and overwhelmed by her relentless attack. Despite two head clashes, the fight was stopped in the fourth round due to Gudsteinsdottir’s injuries.

Indeed, pink has become a cursed color in combat sports, as anyone who wears it seems to taste defeat. Meanwhile, after his loss, O’Malley stated he would take a long break, with fans expecting his return later next year. Until then, we might see his look-alike claim some wins.
