UFC flyweight champion Sean O'Malley has confirmed that his next title defense will be against division's top-ranked Merab Dvalishvili.
"My next opponent will be Merab Dvalishvili. Your wish has been granted. A lot of people said I was dodging him, but I'm not avoiding this midget. A good fight for me, there are several ways to win. Looking forward to the fight," - quotes the words of the American Championship Rounds.
Recall that on March 9 at UFC 299 O'Malley defended his belt for the first time, defeating Marlon Vera by unanimous decision of judges. Dvalishvili, in turn, in February at UFC 298 won on points over Henry Sejudo.
