Former UFC champion in the bantamweight division Sean O’Malley shared his mood for the upcoming fight with the current belt holder Merab Dvalishvili, which will take place on the night of June 8 in Newark, USA.

"Beating Merab is more important than getting the title back. One hundred percent. Even if Merab lost to Umar, a part of me would still want to settle the score with him. Yes, a victory over Merab is of fundamental importance to me," O’Malley said at a press conference.

Let us remind you that last year O’Malley lost to Dvalishvili by unanimous decision of the judges.
