Set to go head to head in a pay-per-view setting later this month against super middleweight boxing star, Canelo Alvarez — and fast eyeing the stardom of UFC ace, Conor McGregor, Las Vegas Sphere headliner, Sean O’Malley may not be on the cusp of superstar level just yet, according to American Kickboxing Academy maestro, Javier Mendez.
O’Malley, the current undisputed bantamweight champion, is slated to return in his second defense of the divisional title, headlining Noche UFC in a battle against surging divisional star, Merab Dvalishvili at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Sidelined since he topped UFC 299 back in April, Montana striker, Sean O’Malley most recently made lightwork of former foe, Marlon Vera, avenging his sole professional loss in a one-sided unanimous decision win over the Ecuadorian challenger.
