### Allegations Surface: Sean O'Malley Accused of Cutting Corners in UFC 316 Training Camp

As UFC 316 approaches, concerns have emerged regarding Sean O'Malley's preparation strategy for his pivotal fight against bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili. This anticipated bout is scheduled for this Saturday in Newark, New Jersey. O'Malley, who is looking to reclaim the title he lost to Dvalishvili last September, faces mounting speculation about his training regimen.

The source of these concerns is Henry Cejudo, a former two-division UFC champion. During a recent episode of his podcast with Kamaru Usman, Cejudo claimed to have inside information suggesting that O'Malley might be skimping on critical aspects of his fight camp. "I think the biggest thing with O'Malley is, did he formulate his camp correctly?" Cejudo questioned during the podcast, as reported by Farah Hannoun.

Cejudo's assertions indicate that O'Malley may be focusing solely on jiu-jitsu while neglecting other essential components like get-ups and stand-ups. He hinted that O'Malley's reluctance to invest in his camp financially is becoming a liability. "He's not bringing in guys for money...maybe he's cheap. He just wants to keep everything in house,” Cejudo stated, implying that this could put O'Malley at a disadvantage against a well-rounded and prepared Dvalishvili.

For fans and analysts alike, the big question is whether O'Malley can turn the tide against Dvalishvili in their rematch. In their previous encounter, although O'Malley lost by decision, he managed to win a few rounds, even appearing to hurt Dvalishvili with a decisive body kick in the final round.

As the fighters gear up for their showdown at UFC 316, opinions are divided on whether O'Malley's striking accuracy and punching power can overcome the deficits in his training camp. This bout will undoubtedly be crucial in determining if O'Malley can regain his status or if Dvalishvili will reinforce his dominance in the bantamweight division.
