This weekend (Sat., Sept. 14, 2024) at UFC 306, the Bantamweight title is on the line in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Sphere. Headlining the event will be the champion, Sean O’Malley, who seeks his second successful title defense against the record holder for longest divisional winning streak (10), Merab Dvalishvili. The co-main event will see a title fight trilogy potentially finish up at Flyweight as the champion, Alexa Grasso, looks to once again fend off the former champion, Valentina Shevchenko. Grasso and Shevchenko battled to a split draw in their rematch at Noche UFC 2023 (watch highlights).
