• 1 min read
UFC president Dana White promises a sporting spectacle unlike any other for UFC 306. The promotion debuts at The Sphere in Las Vegas on Sept. 14 for their second Noche UFC card on Mexican Independence Day weekend.
UFC 306’s main event sees UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley fight rival Merab Dvalishvili. O’Malley and Dvalishvili are one of UFC’s best strikers and grapplers, respectively. O’Malley seeks to establish himself as a marquee act in the UFC; meanwhile, Dvalishvili looks to avenge the loss suffered by his close friend and former champ Aljamain Sterling at O’Malley’s hands.
UFC women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko fought to a draw in the main event of the inaugural Noche UFC card. This year, they occupy the co-main event in a trilogy that Grasso leads 1-0-1. Brian Ortega vs. Diego Lopes, which was scrapped from UFC 303 hours before their scheduled fight, was rebooked for this card.
