UFC 306 is in the books and Merab Dvalishvili came away as the biggest winner on the night. After winning 10 consecutive fights going back to 2018 he got his chance at UFC gold and secured the bantamweight title with a unanimous decision win over Sean O'Malley.
It's a historic night for Dvalishvili as he became the second fighter from the nation of Georgia to become a UFC champion. Ilia Topuria is the first.
But it's also a seismic shift for the bantamweight division. O'Malley appeared to be on his way to a memorable run with the belt before running into a tough matchup with the 33-year-old.
