Sean O’Malley has a number of notable names lining up to fight him next Saturday and it sounds like he’s made his choice.
The popular bantamweight is in need of a new opponent for UFC 264 after O’Malley’s originally scheduled opponent Louis Smolka was forced to withdraw from the show due to injury. Almost immediately, bantamweight contenders Merab Dvalishvili and Ricky Simon volunteered their services, as did flyweight veteran Tim Elliott and one-time UFC title challenger Ray Borg.
With fight night a little over a week away, O’Malley posted a short clip to Instagram in which he appeared to select Simon as his preferred replacement.
