Sean O’Malley is finally gaining a lot of momentum in the Bantamweight division. As he appeared on his first main card at UFC 250, he gave fans a memorable knockout performance to finally make his mark visible in the division.

What makes him popular is the personality and showmanship that he adds to his amazing highlight-reel knockouts. Adding on to his showmanship, O’Malley took to Twitter to announce “gifts” for fellow Bantamweights who have shown a lot of interest in fighting him.

“[Merab Dvalishvili] vs [Brian Kelleher] whoever wins I’ll send an autographed picture to.”

Not taking long to reply, Brian Kelleher soon penned a jab of his own.

Kelleher wrote, “Can you sign it ‘padded record’?”

It seems like the Bantamweight veteran feels that the UFC has been spoon-feeding Sean easy fights for the “Sugar Show” to gain momentum. However, Eddie Wineland was no easy opponent.

Well, that’s for the fans to judge. But what is more interesting is the response that Merab Dvalishvil had for Sean O’Malley.

Merab Dvalishvili calls out Sean O’Malley yet again

The fight between Merab and Gustavo Lopez this Saturday ended in a dominating win for the former. He executed massive takedowns and took complete control of the Octagon in the lopsided match.

Interestingly, Merab had an opponent ready in his mind to call out as soon as he won. Thus, he told Paul Felder in the post-fight interview that he wants to fight Sean O’Malley. In fact, he even took light jabs at O’Malley in the presser after the fight.

That’s not all. In his response to O’Malley’s “autograph” tweet too, Merab reverted with a challenge to a fight.

He wrote, “[Sean O’Malley] I don’t need to fight my friend [Brian Kelleher].. you need to just autograph the contract vs. me.”

Merab sure looks thirsty to get his fight with Sean O’Malley. Although, at the rate at which these two are going, a matchup between them does not look that far-fetched a possibility.
