A lot of fans are going to be tuning into the main event of UFC 306 expecting Merab Dvalishvili to come out and fight with a very high work rate.
The bantamweight contender is one of the best fighters in the sport when it comes to weaponizing his conditioning, especially over five rounds.
His grappling and relentless output is sure to be a difficult problem for the sniper-like striking of Sean O’Malley but Dvalishvili’s teammate has a different option in mind.
The former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling pointed to one of O’Malley’s past fights as a good example of how the opposite strategy can be effective against “Suga”.
O’Malley’s best skillset is far and above his counter-striking, as we saw in his title defense against Marlon Vera and his bantamweight title win over Sterling.
On that night at UFC 292, “Funkmaster” made a mistake in trying to press the action and was caught during his takedown entry.
In a recent interview with Jake Noecker for Home of Fight, Sterling spoke out about how being reserved so that you aren’t giving the counter-striker many opportunities to land shots or make reads, could be an option for his long-time friend and training partner.
He pointed to O’Malley’s fight against Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276 as a good example of this.
Though the fight was declared a no-contest in the second round after Munhoz couldn’t continue from an eye poke, he won the opening stanza on two of the three scorecards by fighting with a much more calculated and controlled approach.
“I think it’s gonna come down to a patience game. I think if Merab implements the same game plan that I used in the first round, just make it a slow fight, let O’Malley be the one to make mistakes. He’s used to people chasing him and he’s a very good counter fighter so don’t give him what he needs which is what the game plan was in our fight.
“So just speaking to Merab, letting him know those are his keys to victory. You watch his fight with Pedro Munhoz, it’s a very slow paced fight, not much happens if you don’t give him what he wants and I think anyone who’s an analyst in the sport knows what he’s good at, knows what he needs to have to have success. You take those tools away from him then he doesn’t really, I don’t want to say he doesn’t really have much but we haven’t seen that side of him. Having to be the aggressor when his opponent is not hurt.”

Aljamain Sterling may not hold any ill-will against his next opponent but he does have some serious accusations about him.
At UFC 307, the former bantamweight champion will look to produce back-to-back wins since moving up to featherweight.
In order to build on his UFC 300 victory over Calvin Kattar, he will need to hand Movsar Evloev the first loss of his career.
The 18-0 Russian has clearly been one of the best in the division since his arrival in the UFC but in “Funkmaster”, faces a very tough test.
Sterling recently made some comments to suggest that all of Evloev’s accomplishments have been unfairly assisted during his career.
In a recent interview with Jake Noecker for Home of Fight, Sterling said that he believes that Evloev has been cheating at some stage in his career by using performance-enhancing drugs.
He said that he has his suspicions as to whether his upcoming opponent in Salt Lake City on October 5 is a clean athlete because of things that he has been told in the past.
Though he did make it very clear that he has no firm evidence of this, Sterling says that they have mutual friends that he used to train with, who are now a part of Evloev’s camp or were, at one point in time.
The former 135-pound king compared what he has heard to when Cody Garbrandt acted as a whistle-blower against his former teammate TJ Dillashaw and wasn’t taken seriously, only for the former champion to later test positive for EPO.
“I just think, from what I’ve heard through the grapevine, he’s not a clean athlete and I think that’s just what it comes down to and people can say whatever, ‘You have no proof.’ I’m like dude, the same thing people were saying about TJ Dillashaw from years ago, him teaching people how to do it, Cody Garbrandt calling him out at the press conference and everyone sweeping it under the rug, telling TJ to his face that you taught everyone how to do it. Those conversations are not very different from what I’ve had about Movsar and I think where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
“Do I have any hard evidence like did I see the guy stick a needle up his a**? No. Did he pop for anything yet? No, maybe he never will but at the day, only him and his consciousness will know if he’s truly a clean athlete or not and I really so believe, I truly do believe he knows he’s cheating. It is what it is, I’m gonna fight him, I’ve fought multiple guys who’ve done stuff, whether or not they got caught.”

An undisputed UFC bantamweight championship fight between defending champion, Aljamain Sterling, and the returning, former undisputed flyweight and bantamweight titleholder, Henry Cejudo, is currently in the works for UFC 287 on April 8. At the time of publication, an official location, or venue for the event has yet to be determined by the organization.
As per an initial report from MMA Fighting reporters, Damon Martin, and Mike Heck, whilst official contracts for the proposed bantamweight title fight between Aljmain Sterling and Henry Cejudo have yet to be signed on either side, however, the bout is targeted to take place on April 8.
Attempting to secure his third defense of the undisputed bantamweight crown, Aljamain Sterling most recently co-headlined UFC 280 back in October of last year against T.J. Dillashaw, stopping the Californian with a second round TKO.
For Cejudo, the former two-weight champion and Olympic gold medalist will snap his three-year Octagon hiatus and retirement at the event, having bowed out of the sport following a bantamweight title success win over Dominick Cruz in May of that year.
Previously expected to return to active competition as soon as March 5. at UFC 285, Sterling recently revealed the timeline would likely be less than ideal, after he suffered a bicep injury which requires further rehabilitation.
Successfully unifying the bantamweight crowns earlier last year, Uniondale native, Aljamain Sterling managed to land a split decision win over two-time foe, Petr Yan in his rematch with the Dudinka native.
Undefeated in his last six Octagon appearances prior to his 2020 retirement, Cejudo successfully landed the undisputed flyweight title in a rematch decision win over Demetrious Johnson back in August 2018, before defending in a 32-second TKO win over common-foe, Dillashaw.
Prior to his finish of Cruz to defend the bantamweight crown, Cejudo rallied to win the crown in a third round finish over Marlon Moraes at UFC 238 in 2019.
