Sean
\nO’Malley<\/a> believes Yadong Song<\/a>
\nis a difficult matchup for Merab
\nDvalishvili<\/a>.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Malley (20-3, 1 NC) predicts Song (24-9-1, 1 NC) will knock out
\nDvalishvili (21-6) if they meet in a three-round fight. The former
\n
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> titleholder believes the Chinese
\nbantamweight\u2019s takedown defense, power and timing would pose
\nproblems for Dvalishvili.<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley praises Yadong Song’s takedown defense and
\nknockout power in a potential fight with Merab Dvalishvili<\/h2>\n

After Petr
\nYan<\/a> defended the bantamweight title against Dvalishvili at
\n
\nUFC 333<\/a> in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, O\u2019Malley called for a rematch
\nagainst the Russian champion. \u201cSuga\u201d also wants to see Dvalishvili
\nface Song next and predicts a victory for Song.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree-round fight, Song Yadong knocks out Merab for sure,\u201d
\nO\u2019Malley said on his YouTube channel. \u201cHe\u2019s just so explosive and
\nhe\u2019s just gonna be hard to take down. He\u2019s been wrestling a lot;
\nhe\u2019s been grappling a lot. His reaction time is so f*cking fast. I
\nthink he can put Merab\u2019s lights out.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Malley holds wins over Yan and Song, which is why he believes
\nhe\u2019s the frontrunner for a title shot. He\u2019s coming off a stoppage
\nvictory over Aiemann
\nZahabi<\/a> at
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Song has won twice by stoppage since his defeat to
\nO\u2019Malley in January. He submitted Deiveson
\nFigueiredo<\/a> in May before knocking out Umar
\nNurmagomedov<\/a> in Shanghai, China, in August.<\/p>\n
