Sean O'Malley has sought help from one of the greatest fighters of all time ahead of UFC 316.
O'Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) runs things back with bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC) in the June 7 headliner at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. He will look to avenge his title loss to Dvalishvili at UFC 306 this past September.
O'Malley has trained with former UFC champions Israel Adesanya and Demetrious Johnson in attempt to regain his title. His head coach Tim Welch reflected on a key aspect they worked on when training with ex-UFC flyweight champ Johnson.
