UFC 306 a.k.a. Riyadh Season Noche UFC or UFC Sphere is supposed to be one of the biggest spectacles in the 30-year-long history of Dana White\u2019s promotion. This goes especially if the main event \u2013 Sean O\u2019Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili UFC Bantamweight title fight \u2013 proves to be a banger. So, will it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our O\u2019Malley vs. Dvalishvili prediction is that it will, but before you bet any money on the UFC Sphere headliner, make sure to read our analysis of the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sean O\u2019Malley is, hands down, the best striker in the UF Bantamweight Division. The champ is 18-1-1 overall, with two-thirds of his wins happening by KO\/TKO. That\u2019s no surprise as \u201cSuga\u201d lands 7.63 significant strikes a minute. That\u2019s actually the third-highest number among active male fighters in the UFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last time he defeated someone by KO\/TKO was last year when he did it to Aljamain Sterling in the fight for the title. Since then, he\u2019s fought once more, defending his title against Marlon Vera, whom he beat by unanimous decision. In that fight, he landed 230 strikes but still failed to get a finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our UFC 306 prediction is that he won\u2019t do it against Merab either. It\u2019s because Dvalishvili is one of the toughest fighters on the UFC roster. The Georgian fighter is famous for being someone who never gives up. That\u2019s why he\u2019s nicknamed \u201cThe Machine\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
