UFC 306 Staredowns!!!

This weekend (Sat., Sept. 14, 2024) at UFC 306, the Bantamweight title is on the line in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Sphere. Headlining the event will be the champion, Sean O’Malley, who seeks his second successful title defense against the record holder for longest divisional winning streak (10), Merab Dvalishvili. The co-main event will see a title fight trilogy potentially finish up at Flyweight as the champion, Alexa Grasso, looks to once again fend off the former champion, Valentina Shevchenko. Grasso and Shevchenko battled to a split draw in their rematch at Noche UFC 2023 (watch highlights).

Also in attendance at today’s (Thurs., Sept. 12, 2024) pre-fight press conference was the pair of No. 10-ranked contenders at Featherweight. After their UFC 303 clash in June 2024 fell through, two-time title challenger, Brian Ortega, returns to try and halt the momentum of Mexico’s Diego Lopes.

Before Ortega vs. Lopes, top Lightweight prospects will go to war when Daniel Zellhuber faces Esteban Ribovics.

Opening the main card of UFC 306 will be a fun Flyweight scrap between Ronaldo Rodríguez and Ode Osbourne.

The full Noche UFC fight line up was also in attendance. See their staredowns below.
