UFC CEO Dana White recently unveiled the highly anticipated fight card for UFC Noche, set to take place on September 14 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The event, also known as UFC 306, promises to deliver an unforgettable night of mixed martial arts action.
In the main event, UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley will face off against the formidable Merab Dvalishvili, the top-ranked fighter in the bantamweight division. O’Malley, with a record of 18-1-0-1, is coming off a successful title defense against Marlon “Chito” Vera. Dvalishvili, boasting a record of 17-4, secured a victory over former champion Henry Cejudo in his last bout.
The co-main event features a rematch between UFC women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko. Grasso, who claimed the title from Shevchenko earlier this year, will look to defend her belt against the experienced former champion, who held the title for seven consecutive defenses.
Another exciting matchup on the main card is the featherweight clash between Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes. Originally scheduled for a previous event, this fight promises to be a thrilling encounter between two top contenders in the 145-pound division.
White has expressed his confidence in the upcoming event, stating that UFC Noche / UFC 306 will be a groundbreaking spectacle in the world of combat sports. With a stacked lineup of fights featuring top-ranked competitors, fans can expect an evening of high-stakes action and intense competition.
