Ben Askren thinks Sean O’Malley running things back with Merab Dvalishvili is a risky move. O’Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) rematches Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC) June 7 in the UFC 316 headliner at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. O’Malley lost his bantamweight title to Dvalishvili at UFC 306 by unanimous decision in September. Askren would have preferred to see O’Malley rebound against lower-ranked opposition as opposed to jumping into an immediate rematch with Dvalishvili.
