O’Malley (18-1 MMA) will be looking to earn his second career title defense this evening in Las Vegas. ‘Suga’ successfully defended his 135lbs gold this past March at UFC 299, scoring a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Marlon Vera. That win was of course preceded by his title-earning TKO victory over Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292.

Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA) will enter tonight’s Noche UFC event sporting a ten-fight winning streak, his most recent being a unanimous decision victory over Henry Cejudo at UFC 298. ‘The Machine’ has not tasted defeat since being submitted by Ricky Simon in April of 2018.

UFC 306 is co-headlined by a trilogy fight between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko for the women’s flyweight title.

Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko

Grasso (16-3-1 MMA) and Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA) most previously collided twelve months ago, where after five rounds of action their bout was ultimately ruled a split draw. The pair had originally met at UFC 285 in March 0f 2023, with Alexa emerging victorious by way of fourth-round submission (see that here).

Also featured on tonight’s UFC 306 main card lineup is a highly anticipated men’s featherweight bout between Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes.

Ortega and Lopes were originally slated to square off at June’s UFC 303 event, but ‘T-City’ was forced out of the contest the day of the fight due to illness.

Brian Ortega (16-3 MMA) was most previously seen in action this past February, where he scored a third-round submission victory over former interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez.

Meanwhile, Diego Lopes (25-6 MMA) currently boasts a four-fight winning streak, his most recent being a unanimous decision victory over Dan Ige. Prior to that, the 29-year-old standout had scored stoppage wins over Gavin Tucker, Pat Sabatini and Sodiq Yusuff.
