UFC champion Sean O’Malley explains delay in Merab Dvalishvili title fight booking: “I’m not fighting out of the country”

O’Malley’s issue

“I’m trying to book it, I’m trying to get it booked ASAP,” O’Malley said. “The only issue is that some of the next pay-per-views aren’t in the country, and I’m not fighting out of the country. Not necessarily because I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but, you know, they have other people that, you know, take other places. But I’m ready to go, I’m f***ing wanting to book a fight ASAP.”

O’Malley then spoke about how he wants the fight to play out.

“God, I just wanna hit him with that knee. Boom, flatline him.”

‘Suga’ is obviously feeling confident, and that makes sense given his status as the king of the bantamweight division. In equal measure, Dvalishvili has put together an incredible run to get him to this point. Something has to give, and it’ll be fascinating to see what transpires.
