By the Numbers: Noche UFC 306

Sean O'Malley had a few fleeting moments, but Merab Dvalishvili was inevitable.

The Georgian grappler won his 11th consecutive fight, claiming the bantamweight throne with a unanimous decision triumph over O’Malley in the UFC 306 headliner at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Dvalishvili limited O’Malley’s opportunities by implementing his trademark pace and wrestling over the course of the 25-minute affair. “The Machine” didn’t get long to bask in the glow of his championship feat, however, as he was quickly asked about the looming challenge of top contender Umar Nurmagomedov.
