Earning the headline spot at the Sphere in Las Vegas, O’Malley is making the second defence of the title he won a year ago when he scored a TKO over Aljamain Sterling. Having successfully defended his crown with a dominant decision over Marlon Vera, “Suga” now aims to put an end to Dvalishvili’s impressive winning run.
The 33-year-old Georgian is riding an impressive 10-fight win streak, with his last three victories coming against former UFA champions José Aldo, Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo. Now he will hope to put an end to O’Malley’s own six-fight win streak and prove he’s the best bantamweight on the planet.
Fight fans are also being treated to a co-main event as Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko finally settle their rivalry with a highly-anticipated trilogy fight. Grasso won the flyweight title in a huge upset win over Shevchenko at UFC 285 before a rematch ended in a split draw. Now the “Bullet” is determined to reclaim her belt.
