Despite suffering a one-sided unanimous decision defeat against arch-rival, Merab Dvalishvili over the course of last weekend in the main event of Noche UFC, former divisional titleholder, Sean O’Malley has boldy claimed that upon rewatching, he should have been awarded a decision win over the Georgian.
O’Malley, a former undisputed bantamweight champion, headlined the promotion’s monumental event at the Las Vegas Sphere over the course of last weekend, suffering a unanimous judging (49-46, 48-47, 48-47) loss against Tbilisi grappling and wrestling ace, Dvalishvili in the pair’s grudge title fight.
And initially claiming he had come up short despite promising a devastating knockout win over the Serra-Longo MMA staple, O’Malley has done a complete 180, claiming he had watched his fight with Dvalishvili round-by-round — gifting himself a decision win, before claiming he should receive his title again — and defend it against Umar Nurmagomedov in the summer of next year.
