PUBLICITY:

after being 'trolled' by the current champion bantamweight (up to 61,2 kg.), Henry Cejudo made a very interesting revelation on his podcast 'Pound 4 Pound', along with Kamaru Usman. According to 'Triple C', Sean O' Malley, who faces Merab Dvalishvili this Saturday (14), he is injured and having difficulties in grappling training.

According to the former champion, who lives in the same city as O'Malley, the rumors were confirmed by three different people.

“He doesn’t know how to get out of it. He’s having trouble. I have three training partners who have been there and they all told me the same s***. Just like he knew when I was hurt. That’s what happens when you live in the same city. People meet other people who are going to say s***,” he said.

Still according to Cejudo, the marriage of styles between the two athletes favors the Georgian, who defeated him in the UFC 298.

“It’s a perfect fight for a guy like Merab… He just needs to be careful in these first two rounds and as the fight progresses, I can see the Merab Dvalishvili ending the fight,” he added.
