In his first title defense, “Suga” Sean O'Malley retained his belt at UFC 299 with a dominant performance against Marlon “Chito” Vera.
Number 1 contender Merab “The Machine” Dvalishvili is next in line to challenge the champion for UFC bantamweight gold. This week, we celebrate the top bantamweight contender with his own UFC Strike Challenge!
His last time in the Octagon, Merab faced former champion Henry “Triple C” Cejudo at UFC 298 to decide who would be next in line to take on the bantamweight champion.. After a back-and-forth first round, Dvalishvili put on a commanding performance, outpacing Cejudo and beating him at every point. Late in the third round, Merab carried Cejudo across the Octagon, slammed him, and delivered heavy ground and pound to put a stamp on his victory.
