O'Malley has decided to take a career break

Already former UFC flyweight champion Sean O'Malley has revealed that he is going to put his career on pause following his loss to Merab Dvalishvili.

"I need to take a break to fully recover. It will be great to finally rest and do nothing. Right after the fight with Sterling, I knew I had a fight with Vera scheduled. And after the fight with Marlon, I had a fight with Dvalishvili. Now, after this fight, I don't have any plans or commitments.

I just need to recover. I'm going to heal my injuries and then come back slowly. Maybe I won't fight for 9 or 10 months, maybe even a year," said the American in his podcast.

Last weekend, O'Malley lost to Dvalishvili by unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 306 in Las Vegas, USA.
