The main event is a near-perfect example of matchmaking at its highest level. Not only is there a lot at stake between two fighters who have clearly earned their place, but it also sets up a fascinating clash of styles.

O’Malley has proven time and time again that he is worth the hype. When he came on the scene, there was reason to believe he was more style than substance. However, he has proven himself in many difficult situations and proven his worth as a champion.

O’Malley has proven he can maintain the style of one of the UFC’s most exciting fighters, while also developing into a true champion with numerous impressive victories.

Dvalishvili, on the other hand, has had to work extra hard to get to this point. His style is more relentless than entertaining. He is a relentless takedown machine who looks to take the fight to the mat as many times as necessary to win.

The result is a great record that doesn’t have many endings.

The cat-and-mouse game that takes place in the transitions will decide the fight. If O’Malley manages to counter one of Dvalishvili’s takedown attempts in time, the victory is clear and the champion remains.

If the Georgian can keep up with his takedown attempts while safely closing the distance, he will survive a decision and become the new champion.

Forecast: Dvalishvili by decision
