Merab Dvalishvili entered the UFC 306 bantamweight title fight last September at The Sphere in Las Vegas against then titleholder Sean O’Malley as the longtime top contender in the division. O’Malley won the 135-pound title the year before by knocking out Dvalishvili’s teammate Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292. Heading into the UFC 306 clash with “The Machine,” O’Malley was coming off his first title defense.
