Location delaying Merab Dvalishvili championship fight, claims Sean O'Malley
UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley is eager to defend his title against Merab Dvalishvili, but a logistical hurdle is currently delaying the fight.
O'Malley expressed his desire for a quick turnaround for his next fight on his podcast. However, he revealed a key restriction - he will only fight within the United States.
"I'm trying to get it booked ASAP. The only issue is, some of the next pay-per-views aren't in the country, and I'm not fighting out of the country. They have other people who have other places. But I'm ready to go, I'm f****** wanting to book a fight ASAP... God I just want to hit Merab with that knee, boom, flatline him."
