Al Jazeera on MSNUFC 316: Merab Dvalishvili stops Sean O’Malley to retain titleWith US President Donald Trump in attendance, Dvalishvili dominates challenger O’Malley in a third-round victory.
Choinski was undeniably tough but badly outgunned by his 28-year-old rival, who also scored well with his hands and defended nine of 11 takedown attempts and eluded Choinski’s desperate chase for a rear-naked choke down the third-round stretch.
Now, O’Malley looks to win the championship for a second time. He has a career record of 18-2, with 12 wins by knockout. Dvashvili has won 12 straight fights, beating Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 by unanimous decision. He is 19-4 with 15 wins coming by decision.
