The UFC will make history on Saturday when it puts on the long-awaited, highly-anticipated UFC 306: Riyadh Season Noche UFC card at Sphere in Las Vegas.
An event set to pay homage to Mexican Independence Day will featured a pair of championship bouts at the top of the card. Sean O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) puts his bantamweight title on the line against Merab Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC), while women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) will take on Valentina Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) in the first women’s trilogy bout in company history.
