I can tell your back on the gear 😂This past Saturday, Sean O'Malley sat cage-side for Aljamain Sterling's title defense against Henry Cejudo. After 'Funk Master' emerged victorious against 'Triple C', O'Malley was called into the cage for a planned face-off. While a brawl nearly took place, cooler heads prevailed.What happened between Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 288?Henry Cejudo and Aljamain Sterling clashed in a highly competitive bout this past Saturday. Despite the Olympic gold medalist's best efforts, he was on the wrong end of a split-decision loss to 'Funk Master'. Prior to the bout, Sean O'Malley was vocal about his desire to face 'Triple C' over Aljamain Sterling.MMAFighting.com@MMAFightingMerab Dvalishvili couldn't help but snatch Sean O'Malley's jacket at #UFC288 🤣35427Merab Dvalishvili couldn't help but snatch Sean O'Malley's jacket at #UFC288 🤣 https://t.co/i8dAMIot9mHis desire stems from his enmity with Cejudo, who once interrupted one of O'Malley's backstage interviews. Regardless, after Sterling's win, O'Malley was called into the cage for a planned face-off with 'Funk Master'. While the two men jawed at each other, 'Sugar' took off his jacket as things grew heated.However, he unknowingly handed his jacket to Merab Dvalishvili, who took the opportunity to wear it. Once O'Malley took notice of it, a brawl nearly broke out. Fortunately, security was quick to defuse the situation and everyone was escorted out of the octagon without incident.
