Sean O'Malley has made some changes in his approach ahead of his bantamweight championship rematch with Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 316 this Saturday.
O’Malley lost the title in a lopsided unanimous decision defeat to “The Machine” in their first meeting at UFC 306 this past September.
"Sean already had a surgery on his hip scheduled before the fight. He couldn't [use his] guard the last camp. This camp was totally different. He was able to train everything, and of course, work on new stuff for Merab,” Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach Augusto "Tanquinho" Mendes told Sherdog.
