The win not only solidifies Dvalishvili’s position as one of the top contenders in the UFC but also reignites debates about his potential to be considered the greatest of all time (GOAT) in MMA history.
Sean O’Malley, known for his explosive power and knockout ability, was a dominant force in the bantamweight division, with a career that featured numerous title defenses and notable wins.

However, fans and analysts continue to weigh the significance of this win in the context of Dvalishvili’s overall career achievements and his legacy in the sport.
The MMA community is abuzz with speculation about Dvalishvili’s potential to claim the top spot on the GOAT list. While some argue that his record and fighting style make him a strong candidate, others believe that O’Malley’s impact on the sport and his record of dominance give him a slight edge. This ongoing debate underscores the subjective nature of determining the greatest fighter in MMA history.
