Sean O’Malley says he will enter the octagon as a different person not only because of his physical health, but his mental health after shedding multiple vices.

O'Malley lost the bantamweight title to Georgia 's Dvalishvili by unanimous decision last September .

He underwent hip surgery in the aftermath of his defeat, with expectations he would get an opportunity to recapture gold in his return.

The 30-year-old says he knows there’s a section of the MMA fanbase who won’t approve of him getting an immediate rematch.

O’Malley said his body hasn’t felt in such strong condition since his controversial win over Petr Yan in October 2022 .

He admitted it was around this exact time for the last fight with Dvalishvili that he injured his groin and hip and had his entire remaining camp derailed.

If he keeps that discipline through fight night , he likes his chances of becoming a two -time UFC champ.

“I’m going to be significantly more mobile, agile, better shape,” O'Malley said.
