This fight isn’t just about the championship belt; it’s also a true test of Dvalishvili’s ability to withstand one of the most formidable fighters in the division.
Venue of the Event: Sphere in Las Vegas
UFC 306 is unique in many ways. In addition to the highly anticipated fight, it will take place at the Sphere in Las Vegas, a brand-new venue that adds to the excitement. How will this unique setting affect the fighters’ performances? Will it put extra pressure on them?
Behind the Scenes: Dvalishvili’s Coach Reveals Secrets
According to Dvalishvili’s coach, Ray Longo, the fight will be tough, with O’Malley expected to test “The Machine,” Dvalishvili’s nickname due to his endurance and strength. Longo acknowledged that the fight won’t be easy, as he believes Dvalishvili’s ability to endure O’Malley’s strikes will be the decisive factor in the bout. Can Dvalishvili withstand O’Malley’s quick, direct punches?
Punches That Won’t Be Forgotten
Dvalishvili has only been knocked out once in his UFC career, and that was against Marlon Moraes — a fight his coach remembers well. Longo hopes Dvalishvili has learned from those mistakes, saying: “We will have to walk through the fire in this fight, but he knows exactly what awaits him.”

Despite his strong record, Dvalishvili is facing a new challenge in O’Malley, known for his height, power, and precision. Longo admits that O’Malley has exceptional skills that Dvalishvili has never encountered before. Will Dvalishvili’s pressure be enough to break O’Malley’s defenses?
O’Malley’s Surprise?
It’s also known that O’Malley is planning a surprise for his Georgian opponent, especially since Dvalishvili recently suffered a facial injury. Could this injury play a role in deciding the outcome of the fight?
