How will the fight play out?

Many sportsbooks are currently favoring Sean O’Malley as the frontrunner to win his upcoming bout, and as a long-time admirer of O’Malley, I’ve covered his rise extensively in my previous articles. That said, I must acknowledge that this matchup presents him with perhaps the most formidable opponent he has faced in the bantamweight division to date.
O’Malley has remained unbeaten since 2020, a testament to his exceptional skill and resilience. Nevertheless, Merab Dvalishvili, who hasn’t tasted defeat since 2018, poses a significant threat with his relentless grappling prowess. His wrestling acumen and high-pressure style could very well tilt the scales in his favor.

While anything can happen in the octagon, and O’Malley’s striking remains a game-changer, my assessment leans towards Dvalishvili securing a victory. If I had to place a bet, I’d side with the grappling powerhouse to come out on top in this high-stakes clash.

My Pick: Merab Dvalishvili to win the fight in the final round. The best odds at the time of writing are at +115 with BetOBet.
