Former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley discussed his mindset ahead of his anticipated fight against the division`s current titleholder, Merab Dvalishvili. The bout is scheduled to take place on June 8th in Newark, USA.
Speaking at a press conference, O`Malley stated, “Defeating Merab is more significant than reclaiming the championship belt. One hundred percent. Even if Merab were to lose to Umar, a part of me would still want to settle the score with him. Yes, a victory over Merab is fundamentally important to me.”
It`s worth noting that O`Malley reportedly lost to Dvalishvili via unanimous decision last year.
