Scene O’Mali had an opportunity-one fans felt that UFC in New Jersey’s Newark on Saturday to re-establish himself as the biggest star of MMA with a win on Merab Dvalishvili in UFC 316.
Instead, this ruled champion Dvalishvili, who got everyone as the greatest Banomweight Fighter in UFC history, with his second win over O’Mali in nine months.
Dvalishvili deposited O’Malley by depositing at 4:42 of the second round, forced to tap O’Malley after being caught in a tight headlock.
Saturday’s victory marked the defense of Dvalishvili’s second title since winning the belt on O’Malley in UFC 306 in September. Georgian Finome also unanimously decided Omar Nurmagomedov in UFC 311 in January, while O’Mali recovered from injuries before her first match.
UFC President Dana White said, “We don’t know (what will happen to defeat Merb).” “O’Mali 100 percent healthy and ready – mentally, physically, can be ready for this fight in every way – and Merb ended it.
“He is definitely there (as the biggest Banomweight of all time), and he will keep racking them, I am sure. A Omar Remach is interesting. It makes your heritage even better when you run through everyone twice.”
O’Malley had insisted that he was entering UFC 316 in the best shape of his career. He quit smoking weed and went away from social media. He bowed into a more family and career-oriented version of himself. His coach also blamed the light and scene in the area for the lack of O’Malley in the UFC 306.
With those distractions and a new strap on life, O’Malley estimated a more concrete performance. Many fans – and even media members – bought in confidence that his mental reset gave him the value of betting.
“I did not feel that it was going to go like that,” O’Mali said. “Unfortunately, did this. Mereb is a madraf — er. I have a 2-week child at home, a 4-year-old child and an ideal wife at home, so I am excited to go home and spend some time with them. But Meb is a madraf — er.”
The reality is that O’Mali, made since September, proved irrelevant. Dvalishvili has once considered the “boring” champion as “boring” champion as someone, being discussed as one of the most prominent pound-for-pound fighters in the game with Islam Makhachev.
“To be honest, I am just getting better everywhere,” said Dwarishwili. “I am not only focusing on one thing. During the training camp, the game plan has changed. Sometimes when I am doing body shots good, I am going to punch her body. Sometimes I look good in striking, I am going to be striking. In this camp, I was not thinking about wrestling.”
Even Dvalishvili admitted that he bought from UFC 306 in some excuse of O’Malley, it is uncertain whether his rivals would show something different this time.
“How he was talking and making excuses, I am liked, well, maybe it was not really his night,” said Dwishwili. “Probably he’s something special and he is going to stop my wrestling Tekdown, and then I have to strike. I was ready. So I was giving him a lot of respect again.”
