Merab Dvalishvili, the dominant bantamweight champion, has declared that he will finally face up against Sean O’Malley, the undefeated title holder, at UFC 306 in September of this year. The fight will take place at the Las Vegas Sphere.
The top-ranked contender right now, Dvalishvili, has not competed since February. In their championship eliminator match, he most recently defeated former two-weight champion Henry Cejudo unanimously.

Past Fights Of Merab Dvalishvili And Sean O’Malley
In March, Montana native and striking prodigy O’Malley successfully defended his bantamweight title at UFC 299, exacting revenge for his only professional loss—a unanimous decision victory against Ecuadorian opponent Marlon Vera.
Merab Dvalishvili, a grappling ace from Georgia, has staked his claim to a shot at bantamweight gold in the interim. He has demanded a title battle against Dana White’s Contender Series product, O’Malley, before the year ends. O’Malley is eager to make his UFC 306 comeback at the Las Vegas Sphere.
Dvalishvili posted the video on social media and retweeted it as well. But remember the golden rule: UFC CEO Dana White says that if the organisation doesn’t disclose something, it’s not real.
