Sean O’Malley went from having “zero excuses” for his UFC 306 title loss to Merab Dvalishvili, to now telling the MMA world he believes he should’ve gotten the victory at Sphere. How has O’Malley been handling himself following the loss, and are you surprised by the flip-flop reaction?

On a special Q&A edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss the fallout from O’Malley’s loss, and the narrative that Dvalishvili is “ducking” Umar Nurmagomedov — and why that’s just ridiculous. Additionally, questions include Dana White being ready to enter the boxing space, the UFC’s next TV and broadcast deal, the A.J. McKee vs. Paul Hughes bout for the PFL PPV, who Movsar Evloev may end up fighting at UFC 307, Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall, Mike Perry’s new boxing promotion, and much more.
