**Concerns Arise Over Sean O'Malley's Training for UFC 316 Amid Lifestyle Changes**

Recent insights from Henry Cejudo have cast doubts on Sean O'Malley's preparation for the upcoming UFC 316, fueling speculation ahead of the highly anticipated event. During an episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, hosted by Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo, the two former champions discussed their predictions and insights for the main event. Both Usman and Cejudo favored Dvalishvili to triumph, not only due to the Georgian fighter's proven skill but also because of rumors surrounding O'Malley's training camp.

Henry Cejudo, who previously faced Dvalishvili at UFC 298 and is familiar with his strengths, voiced concerns regarding O'Malley's camp. "The biggest thing with O'Malley is, did he formulate his camp correctly? There's a lot of birdies out there," Cejudo commented, voicing the whispers he's heard about O'Malley's preparation.

Meanwhile, Sean O'Malley has disclosed significant lifestyle changes since securing his shot at redemption. He revealed that he has eliminated certain habits, notably social media and smoking, which he believes will enhance his performance. Speaking on his TimboSugarShow podcast, O'Malley stated, “I feel like a lot of things that have changed in my life are going to attribute to my performance. For example, not being on social media. I decided in 2025 I'm done with social media.... I don’t get on social media, and I feel like that’s changed my life.”

O'Malley emphasized the positive impact of these changes, asserting that the sacrifices he's made, including distancing himself from social media, will benefit his future performances. "All those little things, making decisions like that, sacrifices... giving up something, I feel like that is going to help me perform in the future," he added.

As the fight night approaches in Newark, all eyes will be on whether O'Malley's new lifestyle will translate to success in the ring, potentially paving the way for a second UFC title reign.
