Sean O’Malley wants to derail Merab Dvalishvili‘s plans at UFC Night. The current bantamweight champion of the biggest MMA promotion on the planet has spoken about his upcoming engagement in a recent tweet right after he revealed how UFC President Dana White freaked him out a few hours ago. In a recent tweet, O’Malley revealed that White just walked him through the event, and it surely blew his mind.

But why? Well, that’s because the UFC is set to air a set of six short films in the $2.3 billion arena between the fights. The films will celebrate Mexico’s contribution to combat sports and will run for approximately 90 seconds. So when it was reported that the UFC has invested over $20 million in the event, we can definitely see why.

In addition to the six short films, it has been reported that each fight would be taking place in a different ‘world’, with images being projected onto the massive curved LED screen on the inside of the arena. So when Suga got to see it all, the only thing he could do was simply pen down the surreal experience. He wrote, “Dana just walked me through the event. HOLY SH–TTTTTT!!! INSANE.”

Now that he is all hyped up about the event, he has given his verdict on his fight against Dvalishvili. Taking to his X, O’Malley wrote that he would surely be knocking out his challenger in what would be a thrilling moment for the fighter. He wrote, “One week. KO incoming. Beautiful. Masterful. Accurate.”

However, this isn’t the only verdict that the bantamweight champion has given about the fight. O’Malley has also predicted that he would be opening up the recent wound that Dvalishvili revealed to the world a few days ago. But what did Suga exactly say? Let’s find out!

Sean O’Malley gives a blunt warning to Merab

Just two weeks before the big event at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Dvalishvili revealed a serious cut on his left eye. And according to O’Malley, he has confessed in an interview with Kevin Iole that he wants to damage the Georgian with an accurate blow that will reopen the wound he suffered in training ahead of the next event on September 14. The 17-1 record holder said, “I am 100 percent going to open up that cut, whether it’s healed or not. I don’t know how much it can heal. I’ve never really had any bad cuts so I’m not sure really – but I’m going to be (targeting it).”

He further added, “That’s the left side of his face and this right hand doesn’t miss. I’ll probably accidentally hit his nose before I hit that cut, that nose just kind of takes up like 85 percent of his face. So, I’m going to try and get around his nose and get to that cut.” Well, it surely looks like O’Malley is all hyped up to face the 17-4 challenger. But only time will tell if he is able to land the final blow, or if Dvalishvili brings an end to his title reign instead. What do you think? Who will win the fight? Let us know in the comments.
