I’m positive at one level, top-ranked UFC bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili was in all probability standing exterior within the foul climate, maybe imagining essentially the most dramatic rainy-day video clip since Roy Batty went … properly, batty throughout his rooftop replicant rant.
Not fairly.
The close by Suga Cam, operated by newly-crowned 135-pound champion Sean O’Malley, pulled again the proverbial curtain to show “The Machine’s” random (and considerably nonsensical) chop-socky strikes, designed to dazzle his foggy Insta-followers.
Then once more, MMA contested within the pouring rain is an actual factor that occurs.
“What the f—okay is that this man doing bro?” O’Malley stated with fun. “What within the f—okay … this man stated ‘hey, maintain my cellphone, I’m gonna get just a little video and fake I’m understanding.’ Get just a little sprawl … wait, what? What the f—okay?”
Dvalishvili continues to proudly show the footage on Instagram proper right here.
O’Malley captured the crown by stopping Aljamain Sterling within the UFC 292 headliner final month in Boston. It isn’t but identified if “Suga” will make his first title protection towards Dvalishvili or longtime rival Marlon Vera; nevertheless, a choice is predicted quickly.
