Sean O'Malley claims to be a new man with a clearer mind and enhanced focus going into his UFC 316 rematch with Merab Dvalishvili.
O’Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) has kept a relatively low profile since losing the bantamweight title to Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC) by unanimous decision last September. He underwent hip surgery in the aftermath of his defeat, with expectations he would get an opportunity to recapture gold in his return.
Now that chance is set for the headliner of the June 7 card at Prudential Center in Newark, N.
