O’Malley enters the octagon with an 18-1 record to fight Dvalishvili, who has a record of 17-4. UFC CEO Dana White has suggested that this event will be “the greatest sporting event of all time” due to the massive production budget that was invested in it. The sheer scale of this investment, with production costs exceeding $20 million according to ESPN, underscores the grandeur of this event.
