Sean O’Malley vows to “open up” Merab Dvalishvili’s cut at UFC 306 [Video]

O’Malley vows to open up Dvalishvili’s cut

“I am 100 percent going to open up that cut, whether it’s healed or not. I don’t know how much it can heal. I’ve never really had any bad cuts so I’m not sure really, but I’m going to be (targeting it). That’s the left side of his face and this right hand doesn’t miss. I’ll probably accidentally hit his nose before I hit that cut. That nose just kind of takes up like 85 percent of his face. So, I’m going to try and get around his nose and get to that cut,” O’Malley said to Kevin Iole.

If Sean O’Malley can open up the cut, it does risk the chance for a doctor stoppage. It is a smart play for O’Malley to want to open up the cut, as it could also hinder Dvalishvili’s vision in the bout.
