Sean O’Malley has overturned Merab Dvalishvili’s victory at UFC 306.
That doesn’t imply an entire lot to UFC or its matchmakers; however in fantasy land, the belt has been returned to “Suga” and can be defended towards No. 2-ranked title contender Umar Nurmagomedov in some unspecified time in the future subsequent summer season.
O’Malley insists he received three of the 5 rounds inside Sphere in Las Vegas.
“Rewatching the battle,” O’Malley wrote on Twitter. “Spherical 1, I received that spherical 100%!! Based mostly on injury that’s my spherical. Spherical 2 undoubtedly misplaced. Took little or no injury although. Spherical 3 was nearer than Spherical 1 in my view. My spherical. Up 2-1 going into Spherical 4. Spherical 4 [was] Merab’s spherical for certain. 2-2 going into the fifth. Spherical 5 I received. I’m the champ. God is nice. 1, 3, 5 rounds I received. Defending belt towards Umar in Vegas June-July. Please ESPN, UFC, repost the battle. AND STILL!”
Sadly for Merab, the Suga State Athletic Fee has already voted.
Shedding to Dvalishvili is not going to hold O’Malley from scoring the subsequent bantamweight title shot, in accordance with this outspoken supervisor. That state of affairs, nonetheless, requires a victory from Nurmagomedov when he battles “The Machine” in some unspecified time in the future in early 2025.
Except this sudden matchup involves fruition.
