Shortly after his victory over Chito Vera at UFC 299, current bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley swiftly issued a challenge to Ilia Topuria for his next fight. Following the event, there was a brief backstage encounter between O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili.

Sean O’Malley’s Hilarious Training to Facing Merab Dvalishvili
Following UFC 299, Merab Dvalishvili had a brief backstage encounter with Sean O’Malley. Dvalishvili congratulated O’Malley on his remarkable win over Chito Vera, extending his hand, but O’Malley brushed him off. Despite his attempts, O’Malley cannot evade Dvalishvili. However, O’Malley recently posted a humorous training video on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Sean O’Malley finds himself in a comparable scenario, with Dvalishvili set to challenge him for the title in his next defense. It’s evident why O’Malley would prefer to steer clear of Dvalishvili. He witnessed firsthand Dvalishvili’s dominant performance against former Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo at UFC 298, observing Dvalishvili’s relentless and aggressive style that has propelled him to victory in his last 10 bouts.
Dvalishvili recognizes his advantageous matchup against O’Malley, motivating his desire for a title opportunity. Sean O’Malley is also aware of this dynamic, which clarifies his willingness to travel to Spain for a striking exchange with the powerful Topuria. However, as of now, there is no official confirmation regarding O’Malley’s next opponent or matchup.
