And new! That’s what Henry Cejudo thinks Bruce Buffer will probably be saying on the finish of the Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili bantamweight title struggle at UFC 306.
O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) conflict in the primary occasion of the Sept. 14 card, which fits down on the Sphere in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews).
The anticipated contest marks O’Malley’s second title protection, and in line with former divisional kingpin Cejudo, his final one as nicely – at the least on this present championship reign.
“That is my prediction,” Cejudo instructed MMA Junkie. “Merab Dvalishvili goes to cease Sean O’Malley on the Sphere. He’s going to beat him. He’s going to both 50-45 him, possibly not 50-45 as a result of he might lose the primary two rounds or the primary one at the least. He’s going to beat him, however as soon as Umar (Nurmagomedov) is available in, he’s simply going to have his approach with Merab. He actually is. Umar is admittedly good, actually technical.”
So far as what’s subsequent for Cejudo (16-4 MMA, 10-4), “Triple C” revealed he’s debating a possible return to the flyweight division. The previous two-division UFC champ remains to be trying to regain a belt, and he sees it as a tricky street at 135 kilos.
Am I going to struggle simply to struggle? Or am I going to chase one thing?” Cejudo stated. “I’m after gold now, and I feel if I do go all the way down to 125 kilos and keep disciplined, I simply don’t suppose there’s anybody on this planet that beats me.”
