This weekend, Sean O'Malley will put his bantamweight title on the line against Merab Dvalishvili at the highly anticipated UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. O'Malley earned the belt with a knockout victory over Aljamain Sterling last summer and successfully defended it with a dominant performance against Marlon Vera earlier this year.
This bout promises a thrilling clash of styles: the striker O'Malley against the grappling prowess of Dvalishvili.

Plus, in the co-main event, the trilogy between flyweight superstars Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko comes to a head. Grasso will defend her flyweight title against Shevchenko, the former champ. Their rivalry began with Grasso's submission victory in 2022, followed by a 2023 rematch that ended in a draw.
