The UFC bantamweight division is one of the most competitive divisions in the UFC. The division is a blend of experienced fighters and some new blood. Former UFC champions are also added to the weight class making it as stacked as ever. The skill sets of the fighters are diverse and are a perfect blend, which makes the fights in the division competitive. Furthermore, one may predict that the fighters would not want to reveal certain aspects of their game plan or physique to their opponents in such a division. However, the top five ranked fighters do not believe this thought and were seen openly discussing their current weight. In a video released by UFC, Aljamain Sterling, Sean O’Malley, and Merab Dvalishvili caught up with each other discussing current weight.

Sean O’Malley, Sterling, and Dvalishvili discuss their current weight

Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili met rival Sean O’Malley at UFC Performance Institute. The trio can be seen speaking about a particular issue regarding walk-around weights. In a conversation with each other, the bantamweights revealed their weights and empathized with each other. The exchange went as follows:

Merab Dvalishvili said, “Look at us what good people here at UFC PI!”

Post this, Sean O’Malley asked Sterling, “What are you weighing?” and the bantamweight champion replied with 167 and a half pounds. ‘Suga’ further asked Dvalishvili the same question and the fighter shared he was 155 pounds.

O’Malley was astonished and exclaimed, “155? Sheesh. That’s where I’m at yeah!”

This led to Sterling commenting, “I don’t know how you guys stay so skinny? I eat one and I’m at 170 (170 pounds).”

The clip concluded with Merab Dvalishvili pointing at his fellow bantamweights and saying, “He’s (Sean O’Malley) skinny. He’s (Aljamain Sterling) strong.”

One interesting fact which was revealed was that Sterling weighs 10-15 pounds more than the other two top-five-ranked fighters. All three competitors seemed to be in a good mood during the conversation. Moreover, they were comfortable with revealing the information to each other since Sean O’Malley is a direct rival of both Dvalishvili and Sterling.

What’s next for the three bantamweights?

‘Suga’ is on a 4 fight win streak and will be looking to get Sterling as his next opponent for the UFC bantamweight championship. Furthermore, O’Malley is ranked #1 in the UFC bantamweight rankings and is likely to get the shot next. Moreover, Merab Dvalishvili is set to face former bantamweight champion Petr Yan in March. This fight is important for Yan to bounce back to winning ways after 2 straight losses.
