Merab Dvalishvili jokes about stealing the jacket of Sean O’Malley

UFC 288 featured the title fight between Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo. Sterling managed to win, and Sean O’Malley entered the octagon to challenge him. O’Malley wore a replica of Michael Jackson’s Thriller jacket. However, he removed it to build hype for the future title fight.

Merab stole the jacket and paraded around the octagon. He spoke with Ariel Helwani about the incident. He said, “I was scared if it was going to fit because I have a lot of muscle. This guy is skinny, because I guess he’s tall, and he looks like a Christmas tree.”

Merab stole the show after stealing O’Malley’s jacket at UFC 288. Dana White will try to book the title fight between Sterling and O’Malley for the Boston PPV card in August. On the other hand, Merab will look to fight either Cejudo or Cory Sandhagen in his next bout.
