Merab "The Machine" Dvalishvili is known for his relentless pressure and cardio, which has overwhelmed many opponents. His ability to grind out victories with his wrestling and pace is impressive. However, he will face a formidable challenge in Sean "Sugar" O'Malley.
Sean O'Malley, with his striking prowess and precision, has been a fan favorite due to his flashy style and knockout power. O'Malley has demonstrated his ability to end fights spectacularly, and his reach and accuracy might be the key in this fight. While both fighters are talented, I believe Sean O'Malley will win by unanimous decision.
