UFC Record Breakdown
Suga Sean is back and looking to rebuild after that rough stretch against Merab. O'Malley lost the belt twice to Dvalishvili, first by decision at UFC 306, then got caught in a guillotine in the rematch at UFC 316. But check this out, he bounced back in January with a decision win over Song Yadong, landing 67 strikes and looking more like his old self. Now he's facing Aiemann Zahabi, the Tristar product who's been quietly putting together a sick run. Zahabi is no joke right now. He's riding a five fight win streak with names that'll make you do a double take.
O'Malley's power is always a threat early, but if Zahabi's pressure and volume carry into the second and third rounds, things get really interesting.
He beat Pedro Munhoz by decision, then got a split decision over Marlon Vera (the same guy O'Malley dominated for the title back in 2024). Most impressive? He outpointed Jose Aldo at featherweight in Montreal back in May. The Canadian has been mixing it up between 135 and 145, showing he can hang with legends. His most recent win came in October when he beat Vera again, this time more convincingly. This is a classic striker versus technical boxer matchup.
O'Malley's got that switch stance creativity and nasty power, but Zahabi is super disciplined with his boxing fundamentals from Tristar. Zahabi threw 208 strikes against Munhoz and 176 against Basharat, he's got the cardio to push pace. O'Malley's coming off back to back losses to a wrestler, so facing a pure striker might be exactly what he needs to get back in the win column. For Suga, this is about proving he's still elite at bantamweight after losing the belt. For Zahabi, beating a former champ would be the biggest win of his career and put him right in the title conversation.
