4 questions we need answered at UFC 306

BBG News

As a seasoned MMA enthusiast with years of watching cageside, I’m brimming with anticipation for the upcoming UFC Noche/UFC 306! This event promises to be nothing short of spectacular, and I can hardly contain my excitement.

The upcoming UFC pay-per-view promises to be an exciting event, known as both UFC Noche during Riyadh Season and UFC 306. However, it might be a bit confusing to refer to it by either name during fight week.

Given that this is a unique occurrence, there are numerous uncertainties leading up to the event. Some of these uncertainties pertain to logistical matters, while others revolve around questions about the fight card. In this article, I’ll discuss four queries we hope will be addressed at UFC Night/UFC 306, and if everything goes smoothly, we should have answers by Sunday morning.

1. Who really is the women’s flyweight queen?

In the UFC’s co-headlining bout, Alexa Grasso, the current flyweight champion, and Valentina Shevchenko, a former champion, will meet again for their third encounter to settle once and for all who is the undisputed ruler of the division. Grasso scored a shocking and brutal win against Shevchenko in their initial matchup, but their rematch was a tight contest that ended in a draw on judges’ scorecards. The decision sparked debate among fans as to who truly emerged victorious. Now, in this trilogy bout, the long-standing question should be put to rest.

2. Can Sean O’Malley really knock out Merab Dvalishvili?

The UFC bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley, has confidently stated that he will knock out the No. 1 ranked fighter, Merab Dvalishvili, in their main event match. However, some spectators are doubtful whether O’Malley can manage to stay on his feet given that none of Dvalishvili’s previous losses were due to a knockout or technical knockout (KO/TKO). If O’Malley succeeds in this feat, it would be a significant demonstration of his fighting abilities and potential as the champion.

3. Will it be everything it’s promised to be?

According to reports, the UFC is said to have invested $20 million in transforming the Sphere for the upcoming event. As of now, we haven’t had a chance to check out their work, but we’ll get a sense of whether it was worth all the costs when the event unfolds on Saturday night.

4. How much will Turki Alalshikh be involved?

Previously, I noted that the upcoming event is backed by Turki Alalshikh’s Riyadh Season. It will certainly be intriguing to discover whether the Saudis may have played a role in shaping this event. While fans might not directly observe any such influence, we’ll definitely inquire about this with Dana White post-event, seeking clarification on whether Alalshikh had any impact on matters like setting the fight card or determining fighter compensation.
