Dvalishvili vanquished O’Malley for a second time, but he was even more dominant after controlling the action through the first two rounds before sinking in a fight-ending choke in the third round. It was an understandably tough loss for O’Malley, who rocketed to stardom as one of the most magnetic draws in the UFC, but now finds himself stuck in no man’s land when it comes to the bantamweight title after suffering two losses to the current champion
