“They Are Both Huge Problems” Sean O’Malley’s Coach Names Toughest Competitors For “Suga”
UFC Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley successfully defended his title at UFC 299 after beating Marlon Vera in the main event. However, “Chito” showed a lot of heart and iron chin during the Bantamweight bout. Still, the champion was way too good for him and won the fight by a unanimous decision. During the post-fight interview, “Suga” called out the newly crowned UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria and told him he would go up in the weight class to fight the featherweight champion in his home country, Spain. The speech left top Bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili disappointed as he was expected to fight “Suga” next.
Fans are confused about whether Sean O’Malley will go up in the division to fight Ilia Topuria or defend his belt one more time against “The Machine.” Now his coach, Tim Welch, has clarified that “Suga” will fight Merab Dvalishvili next instead of going up in the division to fight “El Matador.”. In his recent appearance at the Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson YouTube channel, Tim Welch revealed that both fighters will be a tough competition for the Bantamweight champion. But Merab, who has won 10 fights in the division, will be the next to fight Sean O’Malley.
Going to come in there and he’s not going to be AF afraid to try to cover the distance and shoot like we said I think they’re both just such huge problems but uh I think the Merab I think Merab deserves it he’s won 10 fights in in a row um Jesus yeah 10. fights in a row in the UFC so just getting ready for a problem like that’ll be fun and if we can knock him flat and turn his nose sideways.
Tim Welch said on Mighty Mouse channel
Earlier, Sean O’Malley also said he would fight Merab Dvalishvili in 2024.
