Following their intense five-round clash at UFC 306, Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley aren’t backing down. The two fighters continue to roast each other on social media, even after the fight. While fighters often use online trash talk to stir up hype before a bout, O’Malley and Dvalishvili’s banter has carried on well beyond it. Dvalishvili’s latest skit, where he humorously claims to be ‘Suga’s’ dad, has sparked a flood of hilarious reactions from fans.
Dvalishvili defeated O’Malley via unanimous decision at UFC 306 last weekend, securing the Bantamweight title. Despite the loss, O’Malley posted a video claiming he won rounds 1, 3, and 5, asserting that he’s still the champion and plans to defend his belt against Umar Nurmagomedov next. ‘The Machine’ recently responded to O’Malley’s video with a humorous skit. In the skit, ‘The Machine’ pretends to be O’Malley’s father, taking playful jabs at the Montana native’s marijuana use. In the video, he humorously remarked,
“Sean? It’s you, my friend? What’s wrong with you, bro? Why you keep smoking, my friend? Now it’s a sleep time for you… Listen, son, don’t worry about this, Umar Nurmagomedov. I will take care of Umar. You are not a champion anymore, and I’m going to take your belt again. So you drive safe, son.”
Dvalishvili captioned the post, “It’s hard to be a dad these days.” O’Malley has not yet reacted to The Machine’s latest video. Additionally, as Dvalishvili takes on the role of champion, his next likely opponent in a title fight is Umar Nurmagomedov.

Sean O’Malley experienced a significant career blow, losing his bantamweight title to Merab Dvalishvili by unanimous decision at the Las Vegas Sphere. Despite the loss, ‘Suga’ believes the judges made an incorrect decision. Two judges awarded O’Malley only two rounds, while the third gave him just the fifth.
Many fans and MMA stars feel that Dvalishvili delivered one of the best performances of his career, while O’Malley seemed out of sorts. Additionally, after rewatching the fight for the first time, O’Malley contended that he should have won, asserting that he took Rounds 1, 3, and 5. In a post on Instagram, the former champion stated:

With ‘The Machine’ likely to face Umar Nurmagomedov in his first title defense, fans are eager for this matchup, considering both fighters’ elite wrestling skills. Predicting the winner is challenging, as both bring unique strengths and strategies to the octagon.
