"I believe O'Malley has a better chance of winning. This fighter has a knockout punch and tremendous power. No matter how many times Merab takes him down, O'Malley always starts the fight in the clinch. His movements are very calm and measured and he is not easy to get close to. You can't just run up and knock him down. You have to put a lot of effort in to shorten the distance and that's not easy," Sandhagen told James Lynch.
O'Malley and Dvalishvili are expected to fight on September 14 at UFC 306 in Las Vegas, USA.
