UFC bantamweight contender Cory Sandhagen didn’t hold back in his critique of champion Sean O’Malley’s performance against Merab Dvalishvili, accusing O’Malley of fighting "scared" in their rematch at UFC 316. Sandhagen, who’s been closely analyzing Dvalishvili’s style, seems to be sizing up both fighters as he eyes his own path to the title.

Editor’s Note: Sandhagen’s comments aren’t just trash talk—they’re a strategic move. By calling out O’Malley’s performance, he’s stirring the pot in the bantamweight division, where every rivalry and critique can shape future matchups. For fight fans, it’s another layer of drama in a division packed with big personalities and high stakes.
