Holloway named the favorite for the O'Malley - Dvalishvili fight

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway expects lightweight belt holder Sean O'Malley to get a win over Merab Dvalishvili.

The American and Georgian will meet in the main event of UFC 306, which takes place on the night of September 15 in Las Vegas.

"Merab has great cardio and pressing, he's a great fighter, but he has one flaw: he misses punches in the beginning. He misses and then he turns on and the fight starts. He says he needs to be woken up and he gets caught.

There's one guy in the lightweight division that you don't want to miss from, and that's Shawn. A lot of guys make fun of him, saying he's skinny, lanky, looks frail, and so on. Yes, he looks like that, and he also dyes his hair - it's just the way he is. That's how he positions himself, but you can't deny that this guy can fight," Freak MMA quoted Holloway as saying.
