The much-awaited showdown between bantamweight titans is set to unfold at UFC 306 as Merab Dvalishvili prepares to square off against the undefeated Sean O’Malley. The Las Vegas Sphere will host the electrifying clash, promising fans an unforgettable spectacle in September.
Dvalishvili, the dominant bantamweight champion, hasn’t competed since his unanimous victory over former two-weight champion Henry Cejudo in February.
With a stellar record of 10 wins in his last 12 outings, Dvalishvili’s grappling prowess has propelled him to the top of the rankings, positioning him as the top contender for the bantamweight gold.

Meanwhile, O’Malley, hailed as a striking prodigy, recently defended his bantamweight title at UFC 299 with a vengeance, avenging his only professional loss against Marlon Vera. With an unblemished record, O’Malley poses a formidable challenge for Dvalishvili, setting the stage for an epic showdown.
Although Dvalishvili confirmed the bout on social media and during a UFC India post-fight show, UFC CEO Dana White has urged fans to exercise caution, emphasizing that official confirmation from the organization is paramount.
However, anticipation continues to build as fight fans eagerly await the clash between two of the bantamweight division’s fiercest competitors.
In addition to the Dvalishvili-O’Malley showdown, UFC 306 promises another thrilling matchup, with undefeated flyweight champion Alexa Grasso set to face off against former gold medalist Valentina Shevchenko in a highly anticipated rematch. As the countdown to UFC 306 begins, fans can expect an action-packed night of fights on September 14.
