Earlier, the American confirmed that he will make the second defense of his belt against the Georgian.
"I don't think O'Malley will beat Dvalishvili. Although you can never say for sure - Shawn did beat Aljamain Sterling, a great fighter. Merab knows how to go forward and put pressure on his opponent. On the other hand, Sejudo was hitting him too. I don't think O'Malley can handle Dvalishvili's pressure. Right now, you have to give Sean credit for his enviable resilience," Moicano told MMA Hour.
