Dvalishvili challenged O’Malley for the bantamweight title in the
main event at UFC
306
on Sept. 14 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. It was
grappling-heavy domination from the Georgian for the majority of
the fight until the final round, when Dvalishvili appared to be
hurt by a teep to the body from “Suga,” immediately dropping his
hands low. However, “The Machine” was able to coast his way to
unanimous decision victory from there.

Dvalishvili now claims that O’Malley only hurt him to the body
because of some unfamiliar food he had the night before.
Dvalishvili claims his stomach was already hurting after having the
food and the pain returned when O’Malley kicked his belly in that
final minute.

John Wood
gave me some – they give you a bag – and I ate that yogurt or
something sweet,” Dvalishvili said in an interview with Daniel
Cormier
. “Once I eat this, my stomach is like, ‘What the
f–k.’… I feel the pain in my stomach. Anyway I fight and he
[kicked me in the gut] and I feel this pain. I was like, ‘f–k
what’s going on.’”

Dvalishvili is currently riding an 11-fight winning streak, the
longest in UFC bantamweight history. While the promotion seems
inclined on pitting him against Umar
Nurmagomedov
for his first title defense, Dvalishvili has
called out former flyweight champ Deiveson
Figueiredo
.
