Merab Dvalishvili dominated Sean O'Malley to take the UFC bantamweight title at UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

Dvalishvili's overwhelming pace and cardio, combined with his disciplined game plan earned him 49-47, 48-47, and 48-47 on the judges' scorecards and the unanimous decision.

The fight got called off after the Venezuelan fighter landed two illegal blows in the second round of their meeting. With less than two minutes remaining, Rodriguez held Carnelossi on full mount.
