Mon Sep 23 18:00:00 UTC 2024: ## O’Malley’s Backflip: From “Zero Excuses” to “Should’ve Won” After UFC 306 Loss
**Las Vegas, NV** – Sean O’Malley, the controversial UFC bantamweight contender, has taken a U-turn in his assessment of his recent loss to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306. Initially, O’Malley declared he had “zero excuses” for the defeat. However, he now claims he believes he should have been declared the victor at the event held at The Sphere.
MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee dissect this unexpected shift in O’Malley’s stance on a special Q&A episode of their podcast, “On To the Next One.” The pair also delve into the growing narrative surrounding Dvalishvili “ducking” Umar Nurmagomedov, deeming it “ridiculous.”
The podcast further explores other hot topics in the MMA world, including Dana White’s potential foray into boxing, the future of the UFC’s TV deals, the upcoming PFL PPV fight between A.J. McKee and Paul Hughes, potential opponents for Movsar Evloev at UFC 307, and Jon Jones’ potential matchup with Tom Aspinall.
