    LAS VEGAS – Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili handled their most important piece of pre-fight business Friday when they made weight for the UFC 306 main event.

    Bantamweight champion O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) will attempt to make his second title defense when he takes on Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the top-billed act of Noche UFC at Sphere ( ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).
