BySaurav Chhabra

The buzz around UFC 316’s bantamweight title clash between Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili just reached another level — Conor McGregor is now watching closely.

As hype builds for one of the most stylistically intriguing matchups of the year, a clip surfaced of O’Malley studying McGregor’s legendary rematch against Nate Diaz.

It’s a fight known for calculated adjustments and surviving pressure — exactly what he’ll need against the relentless Merab.

McGregor took notice.

“Very excited for this match! @ufc”
tweeted The Notorious himself, showing support and clear interest in the upcoming title showdown.

McGregor’s Interest = Big Spotlight

Conor’s tweet wasn’t just casual commentary — it signals that even the biggest stars in the game are locked in for this fight.

Sean O’Malley, often compared to McGregor for his flash and finishing ability, is facing arguably the toughest test of his career.

Merab’s insane pace and cardio have overwhelmed everyone in his path — including legends like Jose Aldo and Petr Yan.

This isn’t the only high-stakes matchup coming. In lightweight, Dustin Poirier vs Max Holloway is looming. And in bantamweight, Merab was originally slated to face Cory Sandhagen before earning this shot at gold.

Even Sean Strickland’s feud with MMA media shows how narrative is shaping what fights get attention.

Now, with McGregor tuned in, UFC 316 isn’t just a title fight — it’s a spotlight moment for bantamweight supremacy.
