Off the back of his second career loss to Merab Dvalishvili in just eight months, former bantamweight kingpin, Sean O’Malley admits he was not expecting to be finished by the Georgian in their title rematch tonight to top UFC 316.
O’Malley, who was afforded an immediate title fight re-run with dominant wrestling ace, Dvalishvili off the back of his decision loss at Noche UFC last year, returned tonight in New Jersey.
However, suffering a similar fate to their first pairing back in September, O’Malley was taken down on multiple occasions in the first and second round.
