UFC 306 featured a bantamweight title fight in which defending champion Sean O’Malley was defeated by Merab Dvalishvili and co-headlined a women’s flyweight title fight in which Valentina Shevchenko won the third of a trio of bouts between her and Alexa Grasso.
The UFC night was the first sporting event held at the Sphere, which opened a little less than a year ago. The showcase sold out the 16,024 tickets made available.
