This highly anticipated main event at UFC 306 will feature a bantamweight title fight between current champion Sean O’Malley and challenger Merab Dvalishvili. O’Malley, known for his elite striking and precision, enters the fight with an 18-1 record and has quickly become a fan favorite due to his dynamic fighting style. With an impressive average of 7.63 significant strikes per minute and 61% striking accuracy, O’Malley will look to keep the fight standing, where he thrives. He’s coming off a title defense win over Marlon “Chito” Vera, and the strategy will be clear to avoid Dvalishvili’s wrestling and aim for an early knockout before his opponent’s cardio becomes a factor.

Merab Dvalishvili, however, poses a unique threat. Riding a 10-fight win streak and known for his relentless wrestling, Dvalishvili has set a UFC record for attempted takedowns in a fight, with 49 against Petr Yan. The Georgian powerhouse will look to control O’Malley on the ground, utilizing his gas tank to wear down the champion over five rounds. With victories over elite names like Yan, Aldo, and Cejudo, Dvalishvili has proven his ability to handle top-tier competition. This classic striker-versus-grappler matchup will test whether O’Malley can keep the fight standing or if Dvalishvili can impose his will on the ground and secure UFC gold for the first time​.
