Prior to his UFC 316 collision on Saturday, Sean O'Malley studies the largest star of the sport, Conor McGregor.
The coming Saturday at UFC 316, Sean O'Malley is looking for redemption when he compiles Merab Dvalishvili for the Bantamweight title in the main event in Newark, New Jersey.
Prior to their blockbuster -rematch, DvalishHvili made a daring claim that he will strike with O'Malley and then switch it off, despite his heavy style of grabs.
The only other time that 'Suga' suffered a loss in his MMA career when he was beaten by Chito Vera, but the superstar eventually demanded revenge years later and hopes to do the same with Dvalishvili.

Sean O'Malley studies Conor McGregor Days Out from UFC 316 Fight
And now only a few days out of his huge fight against the Georgian machine, O'Malley has shared a video on his YouTube channel of his last sparring session.
In anticipation of their first meeting at UFC 306, O'Malley could not train at full quality while fighting a torn Labrum.
This time, however, the 30-year-old claimed that it was very different and he was able to train well for the fighting style of Dvalishvili.
And for their fight in Newark, O'Malley has studied the largest star of the sport ever, Conor McGregor.
In the recent video on his YouTube channel you can see the former Bantam weight champion who again views McGregor's rematch fight against Nate Diaz, hoping to take something out of the performance of the Irishman.
O'Malley has always drawn comparisons with McGregor because of his superstar and his witty skills on the microphone.
Responding to O'Malley who studied him for UFC 316, McGregor said: “Very enthusiastic for this competition!”
After he had seen that O'Malley made a real fighting atmosphere in his gym, from the dressing room walk to the entrance itself and even crowd of noise, the former UFC -double champion started saying: “Reminds me of my Diaz 2 Prep. Intriguing! Big Fight Feel!”
Sean O'Malley claimed that he would be larger than Conor McGregor
When O'Malley rose the ranks in the UFC, 'The Notorious' was already at its peak and he was in sport.
Nevertheless, 'Suga' claimed that he would be larger than McGregor, but recently retracted his claim by admitting that he will probably not reach the highlight of fame that the Irishman has.
The two were involved last year in a short online feud prior to O'Malley's first fight against Dvalishvili on UFC 306, but they apparently put their beef aside shortly thereafter.
