Despite two losses, Sean O'Malley still believes he can beat Merab Dvalishvili.

Dvalishvili looked to defend his bantamweight title against Cory Sandhagen in the co-main event at UFC 320 last Saturday in Las Vegas. “The Sandman” was expected to pose some threat to Dvalishvili with his intriguing striking. However, Dvalishvili did what he does to everyone else: he put heavy wrestling pressure on Sandhagen for five rounds. Dvalishvili landed 20 takedowns, the highest ever in a UFC title fight, to earn a unanimous decision win. After Sandhagen, there appears to be lack of title contenders for Dvalishvili, who has already walked through tough competition on his way to the title.


However, O’Malley believes he can beat “The Machine.” According to O’Malley, the only way to beat the Georgian champion is to knock him out clean. And “Suga” is confident that he is the only one who can land that knockout blow. While O’Malley doesn’t feel nice making that claim after two losses to Dvalishvili, he doesn’t think anyone else can dethrone the champion anytime soon. However, O’Malley also acknowledged that he needs to get back on the win column in order to make his case for a title shot.

’You Have to Be Able to Snipe Him’​


“To beat Merab, you just have to land that shot. You have to be able to f—-ing snipe him,” O’Malley said on YouTube. “He was getting a little bit more reckless. The more confident he gets in his striking, the more gaps he leaves open to be caught… I hate to say it, I’m the only one who can beat him… I got to go out there and get some win. But I don’t see anyone beating Merab anytime soon. He needs to be clipped. He needs to be knocked out, put to sleep.”

He had two chances, and almost 45 minutes to beat Merab. Not only did he not beat him, he gave Merab his first finish in 4 years...
 
You've already said this, and gotten clowned on Suga.

I get wanting to put your name back in the mix, but Merab has your number, along with pretty much everyone in the division.

He's just too slick with the wrestling, and has inexhaustible cardio and pressure.
 
The only person at BW who can beat him is Aljo. And that fight is never going to happen.

Okay maybe Umar too but he needs to fight.

Two chances, that’s more than most guys get in a lifetime. This little clown needs to worry about the rock solid Yadong in front of him.
 
I’m sure he actually believes that
 
Watch this fool get another TS :rolleyes:
