On the night of February 18 at the UFC 298 tournament in Anaheim, USA, the Georgian defeated the American by unanimous decision and strengthened his position as the main contender for the title.
“It’s interesting to watch fights live. I would like to rewatch the fight on the screen to understand it to the end. It was worthy. I heard that Henry was injured before the fight. He was a little tired, but Merab looked great. A decent fight from a couple of little guys,” O’Malley said in an interview with ESPN.
Let us remind you that O’Malley himself will defend his belt against Marlon Vera on March 9 in the main event of the UFC 299 show in Miami.
