Mon Sep 09 13:40:13 UTC 2024: ## UFC 306: O’Malley Defends Bantamweight Title Against Dvalishvili, Grasso Faces Shevchenko Rematch

Las Vegas is set to host the UFC’s 10th pay-per-view event of the year, UFC 306, on Saturday, with two title fights topping the bill. The main card kicks off at 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view (via ESPN+), preceded by a five-fight preliminary card airing on ESPNews and streaming on ESPN+ at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The main event features bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley defending his title against Merab Dvalishvili. O’Malley, riding high on his victory over Marlon Vera, will look to continue his dominance in the division. Dvalishvili, on the other hand, is on a 10-fight winning streak, making this a highly anticipated clash.

The co-main event pits women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso against her arch-rival Valentina Shevchenko. Grasso, fresh off her title win over Shevchenko in a controversial rematch, will be aiming to solidify her reign. Shevchenko, a former champion, is looking to reclaim the belt she held for over four years.

Fans can anticipate a night of exciting battles, including the return of Diego Lopes, who will face Dan Ige on the main card.
