Who's Up Next for Dvalishvili?

Brett Okamoto, ESPN Staff Writer, offered up these most likely dream opponents, otherwise known as his wish list:

Who should be next: Sean O'Malley

"This is more about not wanting to do the rematch against Umar Nurmagomedov right away than it is about rushing O'Malley back into a title shot. I'd be fine seeing O'Malley take another fight; in fact, I'm on record saying the biggest fight for O'Malley would be José Aldo, and I'd love to see that happen. For Dvalishvili though, it's either a rematch with O'Malley or Nurmagomedov, and I don't think the UFC should run Nurmagomedov back right away. Dvalishvili already expressed his opinion that Nurmagomedov wasn't deserving of a title shot. Are they really going to force him to beat him twice in a row? I honestly think those two will eventually fight more than twice, but I vote to do the O'Malley rematch first."

Dvalishvili is a -400 favorite versus O'Malley, courtesy of BetOnline.

Wildcard: Umar Nurmagomedov

"This fight was so close. And although Nurmagomedov breaking his hand in the first round takes nothing away from Dvalishvili, it did happen. If the UFC wanted to run it back, I would certainly watch. There's no chance a rematch between these two doesn't happen at some point, so why rush it immediately?"
