UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili commented on the upcoming rematch against former belt holder Sean O’Malley, which will take place on the night of June 8 at UFC 316 in Newark, USA.

“This is a new fight, a new challenge. Sean said he would be better by 70%. I know that now he is humble, but he still wants to knock me out. I will break him, and after that we can be friends, no problem,” Dvalishvili stated at the press conference.

Let’s remember that the first fight between Dvalishvili and O’Malley took place in September last year. At that time, the Georgian fighter won by unanimous decision.
