Just days out from his UFC 316 headliner, Merab Dvalishvili wants to remove all doubts from his rivalry with Sean O’Malley — vowing to finish the Montana striker in their title re-run this weekend in New Jersey.
Dvalishvili, who headlined Noche UFC in September of last year against Contender Series alum, O’Malley, managed to win the undisputed bantamweight crown in a hard-fought unanimous decision win over the Montana fan-favorite.
And in January of this year, the Georgian headlined UFC 311, where he handed rival, Umar Nurmagomedov his first-ever combat sports loss in another unanimous decision win to defend his crown for the first time.
