The UFC is set to hold its first event in Las Vegas, and it’s called UFC 306, and it’s full of reasons to be excited. Besides being the organization’s debut in the city, the card will feature some of the best fights in the world of mixed martial arts.
The main event will feature a bantamweight title fight between Sean O’Malley and Georgian wrestler Merab Dvalishvili. The two are known for their styles of fighting, and it could go either way due to the former’s knockout abilities and Dvalishvili’s relentless nature.
In the co-main event, the championship will be on the line as flyweight titleholder Alexa Grasso takes on former champion Valentina Shevchenko. This will be the third time that the two have faced off, and it will be interesting to see how they will perform after the controversial draw in their previous encounters.
