Sean O’Malley Responds to Merab Dvalishvili’s Recent Call Out to Petr Yan: “Merab is Absolutely Terrified of Umar”

O’Malley questions Dvalishvili

“Umar wants to fight Merab in January… Merab is absolutely terrified of Umar, he doesn’t want to fight Umar,” O’Malley said. “Now he wants to fight Petr, he wants to fight me… Petr got 50-45 against Merab!”

O’Malley’s coach Tim Welch then decided to intervene.

“Just think how exciting and enlightened the division would be if Merab wasn’t part of it?” Welch said. “That’s no disrespect, the guy is really good at getting into those positions and getting through the fight. But man, it would have been lit.”

Hopefully we’ll get some sort of battle announcement sooner rather than later.
