At UFC 306, Merab Dvalishvili won the UFC bantamweight title by defeating Sean O’Malley. Despite O’Malley’s great strength and remarkable strikes, Dvalishvili took over with his persistent pace and immense ground control, demoralizing and overpowering the opponent.
The fight was not smooth and had multiple disturbances, such as a brief argument with O’Malley’s coach and the memorable moment of Dvalishvili kissing O’Malley.
