UFC 306: Sean O'Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili fight week schedule

As a seasoned gamer of UFC battles, I can hardly contain my excitement for UFC 306, also known as Riyadh Season Noche UFC 2. With a stacked card that promises two title fights, ten thrilling bouts, and a trilogy fight between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko, this event is shaping up to be nothing short of epic.

At last, UFC 306 has arrived, and it’s shaping up to be a week packed with exciting matches! This event is also recognized as UFC 2 Noche or Riyadh Season Noche UFC. From the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, this card promises only 10 thrilling bouts. The main event will showcase not one, but two title fights.

The upcoming match will feature Sean O’Malley defending his bantamweight championship against Merab Dvalishvili. Previously, O’Malley claimed the title from Aljamain Sterling in August 2023 during UFC 292, making this his second defense of the belt. As Sterling has since moved up to featherweight, Dvalishvili now has the opportunity to challenge for the bantamweight championship. This bout is generating a lot of excitement and has been scheduled to be the main event at the UFC’s inaugural show in the Sphere.

In simple terms, the highly anticipated co-main event is a third fight between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko, a battle of immense scale. Since UFC 285 in March 2023, Alexa Grasso has held the women’s flyweight title, which she earned by defeating Valentina Shevchenko initially. Their second encounter took place at Noche UFC 1 and ended in a split draw, allowing Grasso to keep her title. Having previously coached against each other on The Ultimate Fighter season 32, they are now preparing for their third fight, with the flyweight championship up for grabs once more.

The card will showcase a lightweight battle between ranked combatants: Brian Ortega, ranked third, versus Diego Lopes, who is currently ranked twelfth in the division. Ortega recently secured a significant third-round submission win earlier this year. In contrast, Lopes has been on a winning streak of four fights and will be aiming to add another victory to his record. On paper, this bout appears to be a strong candidate for ‘Fight of the Night.’

In the preliminary fights of the main event, two fighters aim to keep their ongoing successes going. Currently, Daniel Zellhuber has won three consecutive bouts. Meanwhile, Esteban Ribovics has also been victorious in his last two matches. Both hope to prolong their winning streaks, possibly securing a place among the top 15 contenders in the lightweight division.

On UFC 306, the opening bout is particularly intriguing. Ronaldo Rodriguez is currently on a six-fight winning streak, while Ode Osbourne, who has lost two in a row, is eager for victory in this matchup. Given their individual reasons for competing, this fight is one of the most hotly anticipated on the card.

The preliminary fight card will feature additional exciting bouts for MMA enthusiasts to watch. Moreover, there’s a lot more happening throughout the week than just UFC 306 Fight Night. Here is what you can anticipate during fight week as the event takes place at the Las Vegas Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada.
