Charisma and bravado have made Sean O'Malley one of the sport’s most polarizing figures, but no one can argue with the results.
The John Crouch protégé will defend his Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight crown when he toes the line against Merab Dvalishvili in the UFC 306 headliner on Sept. 14 at The Sphere in Las Vegas. O’Malley heads into his on the heels of back-to-back-to-back victories. He last fought at UFC 299, where he avenged his only career defeat with a five-round unanimous decision over Marlon Vera on March 9.
