One of the most anticipated fight cards of the year will go down tomorrow night (Sat., Sept. 14, 2024) as UFC 306 unfolds live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the promotion stages its first-ever event from inside The Sphere.
Leading the way will be a massive main event clash between reigning UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley and streaking contender Merab Dvalishvili. This will be O’Malley’s second-straight title defense since winning the 135-pound crown from Aljamain Sterling back in Aug. 2023. If O’Malley is able to score another impressive knockout he could solidify himself as the biggest star in the sport today. Dvalishvili on the other hand, could steal that shine by extending his own win streak to 11.
Adding to the mix will be a co-main event trilogy bout between reigning UFC women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and all-time legend Valentina Shevchenko. Their first matchup back at UFC 285 saw Grasso score a massive upset submission to win the title, which ended Shevchenko’s nine-fight win streak at 125 pounds. The rematch took place almost exactly one year ago and ended in a draw, but many thought “Bullet” did enough to win her title back. The rivalry comes full circle this weekend from inside The Sphere.
On Friday night, UFC 306’s ceremonial weigh ins will go down LIVE and FREE from “Sin City” and feature all 20 fighters competing at the Noche UFC event.
