After the UFC 306 pre-fight press conference, Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili engaged in a heated verbal exchange. O’Malley made a bold statement by taking off his jacket, the same one Dvalishvili had taken from him at UFC 288, and moving towards his opponent. UFC CEO Dana White intervened to prevent any physical confrontation. O’Malley confidently asserted that he would defeat Dvalishvili by knockout, a claim he reiterated during the press conference. He also mentioned his interest in a potential boxing match against Gervonta “Tank” Davis. However, Dvalishvili quickly dismissed O’Malley’s boastful predictions by stating that no one has managed to knock him out so far. In response, O’Malley referred to his past victory over Dvalishvili’s associate Aljamain Sterling, attributing it to luck.
