Sean O’Malley trains with UFC legend ahead of UFC 316 title fight against Merab Dvalishvili

Sean O'Malley is now in the camp for his UFC 316 Title Fight Rematch against Merab Dvalishvili on 7 June.

After disappointing his Bantamweight title to Merab Dvalishvili on UFC 306 last September, Sean O'Malley took some time from fighting to recover from continuous injuries.

After Dvalishvili started to defend his title against Umar Nurmagomedov on UFC 311, the promotion started that a rematch between Dvalishhvili and O'Malley will take place on UFC 316.

After his first loss against 'the machine', O'Malley introduced a number of enormous lifestyle changes, with one of them that he gave up social media to put more time in his recovery.

In addition to applying some important lifestyle changes prior to his rematch against the dominant Georgian, 'Suga' also received some training with colleague UFC star, Israel Adesanya.

O'Malley and Adesanya both had the arrival in a similar time and were once considered two of the largest stars in the sport outside of Conor McGregor.

Unfortunately, Adesanya apparently comes to the top towards the end of his time, now on a three-field loss line after his recent loss against Nassourdine Imavov.

In an attempt to change the process of his recent fights, 'The Last Stylebender' has connected to O'Malley in 'The Suga Factory' to get some work with the former Bantamweight champion and his coach, Tim Welch.

In a video about his Instagram story, Adesanya practiced his combos on the pads with Welch, while he also shares the cage with O'Malley in his own facility of the 30-year-old.

Fans accuse O'Malley of Dana White Privilege

When the promotion announced the Rematch between O'Malley and Dvalishvili, fans criticized the matchmaking and claimed that 'Suga' did not earn an immediate rematch.

Nevertheless, O'Malley responded to the criticism and claimed that this time will be a completely different fight because it is not injured in it.

It is nothing new for the 30-year-old to be accused of favorable matchmaking, because he has received those comments throughout the UFC career.
