Sean O'Malley to beat Merab Dvalishvili by TKO/KO is BOOSTED to 11/2 ahead of UFC 318 - as American star looks to avenge defeat last year
After months of build-up, Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili will meet inside the octagon once again on Saturday night.
The UFC bantamweight stars faced off inside the cage back in September when Dvalishvili dethroned his American counterpart over a five-round contest at the Las Vegas Sphere.
It marked the second professional defeat in O'Malley's mixed martial arts career and the American sensation has vowed that he's put in the work since then to avenge the defeat.
With that in mind, Sky Bet are offering a Price Boost on O'Malley to re-claim his bantamweight title via TKO/KO with odds standing at 11/2 - previously 4/1.
Dvalishvili, meanwhile, is priced at 4/11 to retain his title - which he since defended on one occasion against Umar Nurmagomedov back in January.
The bookmakers have priced a TKO/KO win for the Georgian at 17/2. The last time he won via that method was against Marlon Moraes back in 2021.
Sky Bet are offering the same odds for Dvalishvili to submit O'Malley - with the American given 22/1 odds to do the same to his rival.
