Sean O'Malley commented on Dvalishvili's defeat in the rematch.
"I didn't think it would turn out this way. Unfortunately, it turned out that way, Merab is a real beast. I just wanted to stay and thank everyone who came to support us. None of this would have happened without you guys. I am very, very grateful that I had the opportunity to fight for the title. I have a two-week-old baby at home, a four-year-old child and an ideal wife. So I'm very happy to come home and spend some time with them," O'Malley said at a press conference.
