Merab Dvalishvili, a former UFC champion, anticipates that Sean O’Malley will secure a knockout win against Aiemann Zahabi on June 14th.
The upcoming bout between O’Malley and Zahabi is scheduled to take place on the South Lawn of the White House as part of the UFC Freedom 250 fight card.
Despite having faced “Suga” Sean O’Malley twice and handing him consecutive losses, including taking his championship title, Dvalishvili maintains that O’Malley possesses superior striking skills and will be able to defeat Zahabi.
Merab Dvalishvili Analyzes the Sean O’Malley vs. Aiemann Zahabi Bout on June 14th
In a recent discussion with Ariel Helwani, Dvalishvili expressed his opinion that the 38-year-old Canadian fighter, Aiemann Zahabi, who is currently on a seven-fight winning streak, lacks the necessary wrestling abilities to take down O’Malley, unlike in their previous encounters. Consequently, Dvalishvili believes O’Malley will ultimately knock Zahabi out on June 14th.
“I have respect for Zahabi, but naturally, I’m supporting Sean O’Malley. I believe Sean O’Malley will win this fight because he has significant knockout power. I like him, and now I like him even more… The only disappointing moment was his victory over my friend Aljamain Sterling.”
Dvalishvili and O’Malley share a relationship characterized by mutual respect, maintaining a distinction between their competitive rivalry and personal connection.
The 35-year-old Georgian fighter, Dvalishvili, is reportedly slated for a rematch against the current two-time bantamweight champion, Petr Yan, later this year. Yan previously defeated Dvalishvili at UFC 323, thwarting Dvalishvili’s attempt to become the first UFC champion to achieve four successful title defenses within a single year.
Following his title loss, the UFC has committed to granting Dvalishvili an immediate rematch. Once Yan receives clearance to compete after undergoing surgery earlier this year, the two fighters will meet for a third time to conclude their trilogy, which is currently tied at one win apiece.
