The latest UFC PPV offering is sure to be one of a kind. UFC 306 heads to The Sphere in Las Vegas for the first sporting event of any kind to take place in the unique venue. It will also be a celebration of Mexico as the event takes place over Mexican Independence Day Weekend and the promotion has gone so far as to name the event “Noche UFC.”
The event is anchored by a pair of title fights in the lower divisions. Bantamweight king “Suga” Sean O’Malley puts his crown on the line against top contender Merab Dvalishvili. O’Malley is riding a wave of momentum of with three straight wins to claim and then defend the title. His lone loss came in 2020 after suffering an injury. Dvalishvili, meanwhile, has won 10 in a row dating back to 2018.
The co-main event sees women’s flyweight queen Alexa Grasso stake her title against former champion Valentina Shevchenko. The two have battled twice previously with Grasso scoring the stunning submission win in their first meeting before the two battled to a controversial draw in the second. Now, they look to settle the score for good with Grasso getting massive support for her fellow Mexican fans in attendance over the holiday weekend.
