Sean O’Malley may have “reversed his loss” at UFC 306 to a win, but in reality he relinquished his UFC bantamweight title to Merab Dvalishvili on the greatest stage in combat sports.
That is a hard pill to swallow, especially for one of the biggest stars in the sport today. After all, O’Malley was fresh off a massive knockout win over Aljamain Sterling to claim the 135-pound title one year ago before defending it against Marlon Vera this past March. “Suga” was riding high and another milestone away from reaching Conor McGregor.
Unfortunately, O’Malley couldn’t stop Merab at Noche UFC and ended up losing his title from inside the Sphere. It was a large step back for the UFC superstar and a loss that could sideline O’Malley for well over a year. That’s according to the former champ himself.
Sean O’Malley says he’s going to take a break after losing to Merab:
“I probably won’t fight for 9 months, 10 months. Maybe a year. It’s gonna be a while.
People are gonna have to watch the UFC without the Suga Show for a little bit.”
