Sean O’Malley has ‘zero excuses’ after loss to Merab Dvalishvili, says he won’t fight for ‘maybe a year’

Sean O’Malley plans to take an extended break after losing the bantamweight title to Merab Dvalishvili in the main event of UFC 306 this past Saturday.

“I probably won’t fight for probably nine months, 10 months, maybe a year,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “It’s going to be a while. People are going to have to watch the UFC without The Suga Show for a little bit, but then maybe they’ll realize, ‘F*ck, we had it, it was fun.’ ... No one’s next.
