Daniel Cormier warns Sean O’Malley of what a potential second loss to UFC Merab Dvalishvili could do to his career. O’Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) lost his bantamweight title to Dvalishvili by unanimous decision at UFC 306 this past September. Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC) went on to defend his title by handing Umar Nurmagomedov his first-career loss at UFC 311 . O’Malley has since undergone surgery for a torn left labrum, but it appears that UFC CEO Dana White is touting him as the next title challenger. Considering that O’Malley was taken down six times and controlled for over 10 minutes in his loss to Dvalishvili, Cormier doubts a rematch would go any differently. “I think, unless Sean O’Malley makes some wholesale changes to his wrestling, to his grappling, to his defensive ability off of his back, it’s going to be very, very difficult,” Cormier said on his “Funky and the Champ” show with Ben Askren
