"He looked flat. He didn't look sharp. He didn't look crisp until the last round," UFC CEO Dana White stated, noting O'Malley's performance in the UFC 306 main event. Despite a late push with a body kick, O'Malley's early struggles against Dvalishvili defined the fight, leading to a unanimous decision loss where he was significantly outperformed in the striking department and takedown defense.
Dana White reflected on O'Malley's performance by saying, "I don't know the answer to that question, but I think he's one of those kids that lives for moments like this. This is what he's about. I don't know if he just got in there tonight and felt flat." White emphasized the unpredictability of such moments, indicating that O'Malley is capable of rising to challenges but did not do so this time.
