The UFC made history by hosting its premier event at Sphere in Las Vegas over the weekend, featuring a stacked UFC 306 lineup with two championship bouts.
Headlining the card, Sean O’Malley aimed to defend his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili for the second time. Meanwhile, the co-main event showcased Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko in their trilogy bout for the 125lbs championship.
In the end, Dvalishvili outclassed O’Malley to secure a unanimous decision victory and claim the bantamweight belt. Shevchenko, on the other hand, earned a convincing decision win to regain her women’s flyweight title. Looking ahead, here are my thoughts on what should come next for these four fighters after UFC 306.
