UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently invited NFL champion Aaron Rodgers to The Joe Rogan Experience [JRE], where they discussed Sean O'Malley's impressive transformation ahead of his title fight rematch against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 316 in June.
O'Malley and Dvalishvili first clashed at UFC 306 last year. In this bout, the Georgian defeated O'Malley via unanimous decision to claim the bantamweight title. Dvalishvili has since defended the belt against Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311. On the flipside, 'Suga' has remained inactive since the defeat.
The 30-year-old’s loss to Dvalishvili marks only the second defeat of his mixed martial arts career. He currently boasts an admirable professional MMA record of 18-2.

"The Merab rematch with O'Malley [is] an interesting fight, very interesting fight. I do not know how O'Malley keeps that guy off of him, but I do like what he's been doing. Got off social media, stopped smoking we*d, [and] just dialed the f*ck in. [He] got his hip fixed, which was a big problem."
