Mario Bautista Says Sean O’Malley Has the Best Shot at Beating Merab Dvalishvili

Despite having lost twice against Merab, Bautista believes O’Malley has the tools to hand the bantamweight champion his first loss in years. “Put him out or hurt him really bad… he’s not gonna stop coming,” Bautista said. He pointed to O’Malley’s striking and takedown defense as key factors. Merab last lost in 2018 and is on a 14-fight win streak.
