Sandhagen: "O'Malley can finish Dvalishvili".

American UFC lightweight fighter Corey Sandhagen has spoken out about the upcoming fight between the champion in his division, Sean O'Malley, and Merab Dvalishvili.

"To be honest, I think O'Malley has a good chance of finishing Dvalishvili. O'Malley is much better in the standup, and Merab is better as a wrestler and grappler. Also Merab just has his own style in grappling, he doesn't keep his opponents on the ground. And if I were Merab, I would try to pin O'Malley to the mat and keep him there. And if I were O'Malley, I'd use the first minute of every round to do the same thing he did to Sterling. I concede that O'Malley will win," Sandhagen said in an interview with James Lynch.

Recall, earlier O'Malley confirmed that his next opponent will be Dvalishvili.
