Sean O'Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili: Tale of the tape

UFC 306 Predictions

Action Sports Network: Merab Dvalishvili over Sean O'Malley

Sean Zerillo writes "I projected the fight to end inside the distance 54% of the time (-117 implied odds) compared to consensus odds nearer to -115. O'Malley is a threat to close the show anytime during the fight. Still, I feel Merab's finishing chances – either via injury (with O'Malley's historical ankle/foot issue) or cardio-based stoppage in the championship rounds are being undersold."

MMAmania: Merab Dvalishvili defeats Sean O’Malley

Jesse Holland writes: "The challenger has the conditioning to spam takedowns for all five rounds and I’m not sure O’Malley — taken down six times by Petr Yan at UFC 280 — has the defense to stop him. I just don’t feel comfortable picking the champion on the slim chance he can land the kill shot before getting double-legged into oblivion."

MMAjunkie: Merab Dvalishvili beats Sean O'Malley by decision

Dan Tom writes "I have a feeling that my initial lean toward an O’Malley knockout is the correct call, but I also believe that Davlishvili could be one of the toughest stylistic matchups for the champ outside of Umar Nurmagomedov. For that reason, I’ll semi-reluctantly side with the arguably more durable fighter in Davlishvili to survive the early storm and pull away down the stretch (possibly earning a late finish if O’Malley’s body fails to hold together)."
