Henry Cejudo claims to have inside scoop on Sean O'Malley's fight camp "trouble" that solidifies Merab Dvalishvili's chances at UFC 306
Henry Cejudo recently discussed the upcoming Sean O'Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili clash and shared some intriguing scoop on the Montana native's fight preparation. The former champion also called for a fight against O'Malley if he loses to Dvalishvili at UFC 306.
O'Malley and Dvalishvili will throw down in a bantamweight title fight at Noche UFC 306 at The Sphere in Las Vegas this weekend. O'Malley is riding an impressive seven-fight unbeaten streak, having redeemed his sole career loss against Marlon Vera in his last outing at UFC 299. Meanwhile, Dvalishvili is on a 10-fight win streak and is coming off a statement victory over Henry Cejudo at UFC 298.
During a recent episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, Cejudo claimed he had some insider information about O'Malley's training camp. Alleging that 'Suga' had trouble getting his grappling locked down, he said:
"I know that Merab is going to get this win. I know a little bit about O'Malley's fight camp and how it's been going... He doesn't know how to get off the bottom, he's having trouble. I've had three training partners that have gone out there, and they've all told me the same sh*t."
Cejudo continued:
"That's what happens when you live in the same city. People know other people that will say sh*t. That being said, it's a match made in heaven for a guy like Merab... As the fight goes on, I can really see Merab really f***king taking him out."

Sean O'Malley trolls Henry Cejudo with brief podcast appearance ahead of Noche UFC 306
Sean O'Malley recently took shots at Henry Cejudo on the former two-division UFC champion's podcast and trolled him about his loss to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288. It's worth noting that there's no love lost between the two men, and they often exchange insults on social media.
During an episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, O'Malley made a quick appearance to share his thoughts on the hosts, Cejudo and Kamaru Usman, before leaving the video conversation entirely. He said:
"Boys, you guys know I'm a very, very busy man. I'll keep this short. I came here for two reasons. One, to praise you, Kamaru, you're an absolute legend. And two, Henry, how did you let Aljo take you down so easy? [Laughs] You're welcome!"
