The main event was the title battle in the lightest weight (up to 61.2 kg) – the owner of the belt met in the octagon Merrab duallyshvili (19–4) from Georgia and American Sean O’melli (18–2).
The soldiers held revenge – in September last year, Georgian defeated the US representative with a single solution and became the UFC champion.
From the first seconds of the battle, Dniphvili took control of the center of octagon, aggressively pressed the opponent and tried to get a long blow. The American feared Teicdows of the opponent-kept at a long distance, fired at low-kicks and moved a lot.
O’melli periodically received the champion side, but the champion immediately responded with no less dangerous attacks. The Georgian fighter continued to take the initiative in a spectacular duel.
The American has well conceived all the attempts by Merrab to hold Teicdan, but in the third round, the contestant’s defense failed. The diolshvili became closer to the opponent, lifted him in the air and threw it on the coating. The champion strangled the opponent with the reception of “North-South”.
Very confident and spectacular victory. Upon completion of the battle, the dioxide climbed the cage and talked a little with US President Donald Trump, who watched this match in the first row.
