The “Suga” show couldn’t find a way to overcome the grappling of Dvalishvili.

Fernando Quiles Jr. - September 15, 2024

Dana White doesn’t believe the best version of Sean O’Malley showed up at UFC 306. O’Malley put the UFC Bantamweight Championship on the line against Merab Dvalishvili in the main event of UFC 306.

Fernando Quiles Jr. - September 15, 2024

UFC CEO Dana White has given his reaction to the lackluster UFC 306 co-headliner. Valentina Shevchenko reclaimed the UFC Women’s Flyweight Championship with her one-sided unanimous decision victory over Alexa Grasso. It was the grappling of “Bullet” that proved to be too much for Grasso. While we’re back to the days of Shevchenko hitting the dance moves as a UFC champion, fans weren’t exactly thrilled with the lack of action in her title fight.

Harry Kettle - September 15, 2024

Henry Cejudo has taken a shot at both Conor McGregor and Sean O’Malley following the result of the UFC 306 main event. As we know, Henry Cejudo is a former two-weight UFC champion. As we also know, he’s established himself as something of a troll in recent times. Throughout the course of the last five years, he has made it known that he wants to carve out an entirely new persona for himself. As such, we’ve seen the creation of ‘Triple C’.

UFC sensation Dan Hooker isn’t interested in facing off against Rafael Fiziev in his next fight. Over the course of his last few fights, Dan Hooker has been able to inject new life into his career. While he’s still got work to do before being dubbed a title contender, his victory over Mateusz Gamrot was a real statement of intent. Moving forward, he’ll likely be looking forward as opposed to behind him in the rankings.
