Merab Dvalishvili dominated Sean O’Malley at UFC 306, earning the title of UFC bantamweight champion.

The judges scored it 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47 in favor of Dvalishvili (18-4), a 33-year-old from the country of Georgia. He used a ground-and-pound attack to control most of the action against O’Malley (18-2).

O’Malley, 29, was a slight -125 favorite.

“Now look at me,” Dvalishvili said. “I’m a UFC champion and I’m living my dream. I inspire so many people in my country and around the world.”

Umar Nurmagomedov congratulated Merab after the fight, but also took a jab at the champ and said in the future, "I hope [Dvalishvili] won't avoid the real challenger. In any case, I'm ready."

BetOnline.ag jumped on the chance of a potential Dvalishvili-Nurmagomedov bout, releasing odds almost immediately following UFC 306.

That fight became official December 4 when UFC President Dana White made the big announcement.
