Six weeks prior to his UFC championship bout, Sean O’Malley sustained a rib injury, which was documented in the promotional film “Fight Inc: Inside The UFC.” Despite this setback, O’Malley managed to secure the title by defeating Aljamain Sterling. After successfully defending his title against Marlon Vera, O’Malley is now gearing up to take on the top contender in his division, Merab Dvalishvili. Both fighters are looking towards a potential showdown on September 16 at UFC 306 in Las Vegas.
