It looks like Sean O'Malley has warmed up to the idea of fighting Merab Dvalishvili, sort of.
The UFC bantamweight champion took to X on Friday to say that he’s fighting Dvalishvili, who’s the clear No. 1 contender in the division. However, the champion mentioned 2025 as the year, which prompted a lot of feedback, including from Dvalishvili, who seemed to be more concerned about the spelling of his name than the proposed timeline.
