UFC 306 LIVE: Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili to headline unique ‘Noche’ event at Sphere

In the main event of UFC 306 tonight, Sean O’Malley takes on Merab Dvalishvili in a highly anticipated bantamweight title bout.

“Sugar Sean” O’Malley is making his second title defense, having won it from Aljamain Sterling with a perfect knockout last August, before retaining it with a masterclass against Marlon Vera in March.

However, the American star could face a tough test in Las Vegas, where he will face a challenger who has won 10 straight bouts. Georgia’s Dvalishvili enters the Sphere after three straight victories over former champions Henry Cejudo, Petr Yan and Jose Aldo.

And in the co-main event of UFC 306, Alexa Grasso defends her flyweight belt against division icon Valentina Shevchenko in a highly anticipated trilogy. Grasso submitted Shevchenko in a shocking bout in 2022, before the duo fought to a controversial draw in 2023.

Elsewhere at UFC 306, dubbed ‘UFC Noche’ as a celebration of Mexican fights during the country’s independence weekend, Diego Lopes battles Brian Ortega. Follow live updates and results from UFC 306 below.
