Sean O'Malley has gone above and beyond to prepare for his rematch against Merab Dvalishvili.
O’Malley will get a chance to avenge his title loss against Dvalishvili in the main event at UFC 316 on June 7 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The former bantamweight champ was dethroned by “The Machine” via unanimous decision at UFC 306 last year.
The loss prompted significant changes in his lifestyle to prepare for the rematch. “Suga” has stayed away from the camera, stopped smoking marijuana and had surgery to repair a hip injury.
