Sean O'Malley leaves no stone untouched prior to his rematch against Merab Dvalishvili.
The former UFC Bantamweight Champion lost the title on the atmosphere last year, on the wrong side of a wrestling clinic against Merab Dvalishvili.
Dvalishvili achieved Sean O'Malley six times on five rounds to win through unanimous decision. Although fans do not want to see the Rematch, the world's best Bantam weights meet again in the main event of UFC 316 on June 7 in Newark, New Jersey.
O'Malley circled to their first fight, defended the majority of the Takedown attempts by Dvalishvili, but the striker was simply overworked and outgunned in the engraving department.
After the title loss, O'Malley revealed that he was not close to 100% on UFC 306, with reference to a torn labblessure 10 weeks prior to the fight.

Sean O'Malley struggled more on Monday morning than he did for Merab Dvalishvili on UFC 306
An wounded O'Malley says that he was hardly able to struggle in preparations for Merab Dvalishvili, a hunter who is notorious known for arming his wrestling and cardio.
“This sounds like I'm exaggerating, and I am not,” O'Malley continued in the Ariel Helwani show.
“Just today, this morning practice I had, I was struggling more today than I struggled the last fighting camp for Merab. I know it sounds like [crazy]. “
“Today we did 7 rounds of six minutes, wicked hard, picked the most difficult guys, just hetero struggling today.
“I couldn't even do that as a last camp,” O'Malley revealed.
Sean O'Malley brutally honest about UFC title loss, next fight
Getting more work on a Monday morning than in 10 weeks of training, a healthy, cold turkey mentality Sean O'Malley is extremely confidence in his skills to take Merab Dvalishvili in the Rematch.
In what others see as a stylistic nightmare for the striking sniper, O'Malley sees a way to win, thinking that his ground game is criminally underestimated.
But to be honest, it is not like his last performance 'Suga' favors.
“I know I could struggle better than I shown in that last fight,” said O'Malley.
“That was embarrassing what I could do against Merab.
“Merab is cool. Merab is good,” O'Malley added. “Merab is probably currently considered the largest Bantamweight of all time.
“So I'm going outside, knock it out … what makes me that?”
