According to the latest information, the fight between the American and the Georgian could take place on September 14 at UFC 306.
"It's hard to say, but it will definitely be a tough fight. No one has been able to stop Merab's wrestling, not even Henry Cejudo. Honestly, it's a bad fight for O'Malley as Merab is tough and resilient. He came out against the real killers in this division and calmly fended off their best attacks. The real damage was when he hit his own head on the ice.
But there's something special about O'Malley. He's got finesse. He's got the style of a matador. Merab is definitely a real fighter, so if Shawn can put up the perfect fight, he's just going to throw him accurate punches and stay on the sidelines. O'Malley is really good at grappling. I've had the opportunity to train with some of his partners - they're really top-notch guys. They know how to fight, they know jiu-jitsu. So it's hard for me to speak unequivocally about the winner," MMA Junkie quoted Faber as saying.
