It appears as though Sean O'Malley is eying an immediate title shot when he returns to the octagon as he recently issued an ultimatum to Merab Dvalishvili regarding his bout against Umar Nurmagomedov. The former bantamweight champion put his name in the mix and disclosed a hypothetical date for his title fight.
Since becoming the new bantamweight champion at Noche UFC 306, 'The Machine' has been linked to a bout against 'Young Eagle', however, the timeline for the bout remains unclear. After losing his title, 'Sugar' tweeted that he believes he should have won the decision and retained.
The former bantamweight champion continued to add more fuel to the fire as he recently tweeted that he wants his rematch and will call for it if 'The Machine' vs. 'Young Eagle' isn't booked soon. O'Malley added an ultimatum that if Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov aren't signed to fight this year, he'll be pushing for an immediate rematch:
"If unibrow and Merab don't fight by the end of the year, I'm fighting Merab in March. [Middle finger emoji] suck my s*c if you don't like it."

Which rounds did Sean O'Malley claim he won against Merab Dvalishvili?
Sean O'Malley hasn't shied away from sharing his frustration with his bantamweight title loss to Merab Dvalishvili at Noche UFC 306.
Following the bout, 'Sugar' watched the fight again, which only strengthened his belief that he was robbed of a decision. Obviously, there is a difference of opinion from Dvalishvili and others in the MMA community.
A few days removed from his main event title loss, O'Malley took to his X account and mentioned that he won three rounds against Dvalishvili, especially the final round, and jokingly outlined a timeline for his next title defense against top contender Umar Nurmagomedov:
"Round 5 I won. I am the champ. 1,3,5 round I won. Defending belt against Umar in Vegas June/July."
