In the lead-up to the highly anticipated UFC 306 bout between Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili, former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo has shared his bold prediction. Known for his analytical insights and experience in the octagon, Cejudo believes that Dvalishvili will emerge victorious but warns that the winner’s reign might be short-lived.
Henry Cejudo’s Prediction
Henry Cejudo, who has faced Dvalishvili in the past, predicts that the Georgian fighter will stop O’Malley. Cejudo suggests that Dvalishvili’s relentless pace and grappling prowess will be too much for O’Malley to handle over the course of the fight. He envisions Dvalishvili either winning by a dominant decision or potentially finishing O’Malley in the later rounds.
Despite his confidence in Dvalishvili’s victory, Cejudo paints a grim picture for whoever holds the bantamweight title after UFC 306. He believes that the next contender, Umar Nurmagomedov, will pose an even greater challenge. Cejudo sees Nurmagomedov as the future of the bantamweight division, predicting that he will dethrone Dvalishvili shortly after he wins the title.
Cejudo’s assessment highlights the depth and competitiveness of the bantamweight division. With fighters like O’Malley, Dvalishvili, and Nurmagomedov, the title picture is constantly evolving, and no champion can rest easy.
Henry Cejudo, also known as “Triple C” for his Olympic gold medal and two UFC titles, has always been a keen observer of the sport. After retiring in 2020, he made a comeback in 2023 but faced setbacks, including a loss to Dvalishvili. Despite these challenges, Cejudo remains a respected voice in MMA, offering insights that fans and fighters alike take seriously.
