Sean O’Malley claims he can still beat Merab Dvalishvili in the future: ‘There’s a world where I get that back’

Despite just two weeks removed from his second Octagon loss to the dominant, Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 316, former champion, Sean O’Malley claims there is an ideal world where he faces the Georgian for a third time — and finally dispatches him.

O’Malley, who made his return at UFC 316 earlier this month, headlined the New Jersey flagship as the challenger to the bantamweight crown.
