Sean O'Malley explains why he won't have his hair dyed for Merab Dvalishvili rematch
Sean O'Malley recently revealed that he won't be competing with dyed hair at UFC 316.
During his pre-fight media availability, O'Malley mentioned that he will be returning to his natural hair color for when he takes on Merab Dvalisvhili in their rematch because he feels like returning to that look feels right for this fight:
"I love pink hair, it's fun but I thought bringing back the OG hair would be pretty cool too... First time I did my hair was June 6, 2020... It's almost five years ago to the day. Yeah, so it's pretty crazy. I thought bringing back the OG hair was cool."
