Sean O'Malley got in UFC 306 with a hip injury
O'Malley might possibly return next summer season if whatever goes according to prepare with his upcoming surgical treatment and rehab. Before the injury and loss to Dvalishvili, O'Malley's activity level was among the greatest among UFC champs.
O'Malley made the UFC bantamweight title by completing Aljamain Sterling by TKO at UFC 292. He safeguarded the belt by consentaneous choice versus Marlon Vera at UFC 299 in March.
Dvalishvili will likely deal with Umar Nurmagomedov for his very first title defense next year. Nurmagomedov most just recently beat Cory Sandhagen at UFC Abu Dhabi and stays unbeaten.
As O'Malley gets ready for his break, he has the chance to see the UFC bantamweight landscape and plot a prospective return challenger. A match with Henry Cejudo, who called out O'Malley right away after UFC 306, is on the table.
In the meantime, O'Malley will seek to concentrate on his physical health and go back to the Octagon next year at complete strength.
