O’Malley and Dvalishvili lock horns
O’Malley: “This little f***in rat better not pull out I swear to god.”
Dvalishvili: “Calm down – it’s all good – just a little training injury. Never pulled out of a fight – and never will! I’m coming for you O’Malley – stronger than ever. Vamos!”
The good news is that it doesn’t appear to be serious enough for the fight to be in jeopardy. With that being said, Sean certainly has a target to aim for now. Dvalishvili is as tough as they come and he’ll be ready to put it all on the line in Las Vegas – but he’s taking on an absolute sharpshooter.
