“The Machine” entered the night on a 10-fight winning streak dating back to 2018, and on Saturday the Georgian extended that run and claimed the UFC bantamweight title when he defeated O'Malley via unanimous decision.

The night’s co-main event was a trilogy bout for the women’s flyweight title between reigning champion Alexa Grasso and former titleholder Valentina Shevchenko.

Grasso stunned “Bullet” with a fourth-round submission in their first meeting before the pair fought to a draw in their rematch, but at UFC 306 Shevchenko got her revenge with a unanimous decision victory and reclaimed her flyweight title.

The night's main card also saw Diego Lopes best Brian Ortega in a huge flyweight bout after Esteban Ribovics upset Daniel Zellhuber in a wild Fight of the Year candidate, and the PPV kicked off with Ronaldo Rodriguez taking a hard-fought split decision over Ode Osbourne.
