One of the most popular names in the UFC, O'Malley is known for his eccentric looks. Before his loss to the Georgian in September 2024, the fighter had a habit of preparing different hairstyles for the day of the fight. In fact, this will be the first time since 2020 that the athlete will appear with his hair in its natural color.

At 30 years old, Suga has two losses as a professional. He was defeated by Marlon Vera at the beginning of his career in the Ultimate, but managed to win the rematch in UFC 299, in his first and only defense of the bantamweight title (up to 61,2 kg). Now, he tries to repeat the feat against Merab Dvalishvili.
