Despite two losses, Sean O'Malley still believes he can beat Merab Dvalishvili.
Dvalishvili looked to defend his bantamweight title against Cory Sandhagen in the co-main event at UFC 320 last Saturday in Las Vegas. “The Sandman” was expected to pose some threat to Dvalishvili with his intriguing striking. However, Dvalishvili did what he does to everyone else: he put heavy wrestling pressure on Sandhagen for five rounds. Dvalishvili landed 20 takedowns, the highest ever in a UFC title fight, to earn a unanimous decision win. After Sandhagen, there appears to be lack of title contenders for Dvalishvili, who has already walked through tough competition on his way to the title.
