Merab Dvalishvili Reacts To Sean O’Malley Calling Out Ilia Topuria

Merab Dvalisvili was most certainly NOT a fan of Sean O’Malley’s post-fight interview.

O’Malley’s reign as the UFC Bantamweight Champion continues after a masterclass performance over Chito Vera in the UFC 299 headliner. Following three lopsided scorecards and a unanimous decision verdict, ‘Sugar’ got on the microphone and made an interesting call-out.

Much to the disapproval #1 contender Dvalishvili, the 28 year-old O’Malley went a different direction and asked for a fight with UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria instead.

Merab’s Thoughts On O’Malley’s Performance & Magnitude Of Potential Fight

As a fighter, the champ has earned the respect of Dvalishvili.
