Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley seem to be committed to their potential Bantamweight Title Rematch in a bit of a different way.
Last September at the historic UFC 306 event, Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley met for the first time when Dvalishvili O'Malley displaced with a dominant version.
The fight was covered with controversy after the corner of O'Malley tried to distract Dvalishvili during the fight, which led to bizarre moments during the fight.
Since then, the Georgian champion has defended his title once once Dvalishvili Umar Nurmagomedov on UFC 311 dominated in a surprising version.

Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili reunite in jacuzzi and discuss Rematch
After his successful defending defense against the unbeaten Nurmagomedov, 'The Machine' admitted that he wants to rematch 'Suga' Sean and that was agreed by UFC boss, Dana White that hinted that the matchup is being discussed.
O'Malley has not fought since their fight last September because he recovers from a torn Labrum with which he went into battle.
The two Bantam weights recently met against each other at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas and shared a jacuzzi together.
Not only that, but the two discussed their potential upcoming Rematch who apparently remained respectful despite their feud during last year.
“Ready to go again?” Asked O'Malley Merab.
'What do you weigh? 158LBS, 157LBS? “Asked the former champion.
“Something like that,” replied Dvalishvili.
“Did you enjoy Champ Life?” asked O'Malley.
“Start, no, now I am,” Dvalishhvili admitted.
“Your last fight was impressive, you looked good, it was a nice fight to watch,” O'Malley told him.
“When we fight again, I know that you are struggling and then I know you are going to change,” said Dvalishhvili.
“I only had one hip last time, I now have both hips,” replied O'Malley.
“I'm going to use my striking use. You think I won't do it, do you think I won't do that? “Dvalishvili then claimed O'Malley laughed his statement.
When can Merab Dvalishvili vs Sean O'Malley 2 happen?
With both hunters extremely enthusiastic to let it go back, the UFC will probably not have any problems when it comes to the negotiations.
While 'The Machine' defended his title at the beginning of the year, he will probably not return until the summer, possibly the possibility to compete on international combat weeks, UFC 317.
White recently gave a positive update about Jon Jones and claimed that the heavyweight champion could return in the summer, and if he and Tom Aspinall fight on UFC 317, they could compile a blockbuster Co-Main event for the Bantamweight title.
