Former UFC champion-turned-trainer, Matt Serra has hit out at opposition coach, Tim Welch for his corner work at Noche UFC last weekend, claiming his advice to trainee, Sean O’Malley was “sh*t” with the champion losing his belt to Georgian star, Merab Dvalishvili.
Serra, a former undisputed welterweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has led both the above-mentioned Dvalishvili and former gold holder, Aljamain Sterling to title wins at 135lbs alongside veteran head coach, Ray Longo since his retirement from combat sports.
And over the course of the weekend, the veteran New Yorker watched on as student, Dvalishvili rode out a comfortable unanimous judging win over undisputed champion, O’Malley to win the divisional crown.
