The main event of UFC 306 featured Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili , but it didn't go as many fans expected.
O’meally, who is known for his flashy striking and confidence, seemed off his game. He struggled to find his rhythm, and his usual precision was missing. Whether it was a bad night or a tougher-than-expected opponent, O'Malley’s performance fell flat compared to the high expectations set after his previous fights. His footwork wasn’t as sharp, and he wasn’t able to control the distance like he normally does.
“I expected Sean O’meally to win that fight, but he was outclassed by the grappling of Merab,” said Carson High School alumni Andrew Gonzalez.
Overall, it was an underwhelming show O’meally put up as many see him as the star and future of division.
CHS senior Armando Gomez said, “Sean O’meally underperformed.; it seemed like he didn’t want to fight at all.”-
Many viewers seemed disappointed with the outcome but are hopeful that the next major event will offer a lot more.
