Max Holloway picks Sean O’Malley to defeat Merab Dvalishvili

“I’m type of shocked about these [betting] odds. It at all times blows my thoughts when the champion is the underdog,” Holloway mentioned. “Merab has nice cardio, nice strain, nice fighter. However one gap in his sport that we’ve seen over and over is he will get caught…
“If there’s one man within the bantamweight division that you do not need to get caught by, it’s Sean [O’Malley]. A number of guys tease Sean on how he’s skinny, lanky, lengthy, and appears brittle…that’s simply who he’s, that’s simply how he’s,” Holloway continued. “That’s how he carries himself and you’ll’t take away that this man can combat. He can crack and knocks out folks…my perception on this combat, I’m going Sean. No disrespect to Merab, nice all over the place…however man, should you [make] errors, should you get caught clear by Sean and he is aware of you’re harm, he’s going to search out one other shot to place you down. That’s simply it.”
Holloway returns to the Octagon at UFC 308 towards UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria.
