This weekend, Sean O'Malley will put his bantamweight title on the line against Merab Dvalishvili at the highly anticipated UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. O'Malley earned the belt with a knockout victory over Aljamain Sterling last summer and successfully defended it with a dominant performance against Marlon Vera earlier this year.

This bout promises a thrilling clash of styles: the striker O'Malley against the grappling prowess of Dvalishvili.

Plus, in the co-main event, the trilogy between flyweight superstars Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko comes to a head. Grasso will defend her flyweight title against Shevchenko, the former champ. Their rivalry began with Grasso's submission victory in 2022, followed by a 2023 rematch that ended in a draw.

Early Prelims

Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Aoriqileng; Bantamweights

Irene Aldana faces Norma Dumont in a fight for bantamweight bragging rights. Mexico's Aldana owns the record for the second-most total strikes landed (1,105) in UFC women's bantamweight history. Brazil's Dumont is on a four-fight win streak. The tenth-ranked bantamweight beat former world champion Germaine de Randamie in April after a run at flyweight.

The event will see the return of Raul Rosas Jr. Rosas showcased his skills on Dana White's Contender Series, and White had to sign him afterward. The 19-year-old is on a two-fight win streak and has six wins via submission.

He faces Aoriqileng, who has eight wins via knockout. The Chinese fighter is coming off a no-contest against Daniel Marcos in February and is 1-1 (1 NC) in his last three fights.

O’Malley won the belt with a knockout of Aljamain Sterling last August, before retaining the gold with a clinic against Marlon Vera in March.

Now the flashy American defends his title against Dvalishvili, who is out for revenge on behalf of his teammate Sterling. It’s a classic striker versus wrestler match-up, with Georgia’s Dvalishvili surely looking to grapple his way to victory against the champion.

And in the co-main event, Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko round out their trilogy, as the Mexican defends her flyweight belt against the former champion. Grasso submitted Shevchenko to dethrone the icon in 2022, before their 2023 rematch ended as a draw.

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.

In what is shaping up to be a huge night for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, two titles are on the line as the promotion gets set to hold a pay-per-view inside the state-of-the-art Sphere.

The headliner will see “Suga” Sean O’Malley once again put this Bantamweight belt up for grabs, as he is set to square off with Merab Dvalishvili.

This will be O’Malley’s second title defense of his mixed martial arts career. After winning the championship by beating Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292, he successfully held on to the belt when he defeated Marlon Vera by unanimous decisions at UFC 299 back in March. The Montana native has won six of his last seven fights (with one no-contest in 2022). He has a career record of 18-1 with 12 knockouts.

This is Dvalishvili’s first shot at a championship in the UFC. The 33-year-old has been part of the promotion since 2017, but has really made himself a contender as of late. He last beat Henry Cejudo at UFC 298 in February, marking his 10th straight victory. Dvalishvili is 17-4 in his career, all but four of his wins have come by decision.

The other championship bout will be for the Women’s Flyweight title, as Alexa Grasso defends her championship against Valentina Shevchenko, again.

This is the third time in a row that Grasso has faced Shevchenko. The Mexican-born fighter won the belt from Shevchenko via submission at UFC 285 in March 2023. In the rematch six months later, a split decision led to their fight being ruled a draw. Neither woman has fought in the octagon in close to a year.
