The UFC 306 live streams already going to be a big one with Sean O’Malley and Mereb Dvalishvili at the top of the fight card, but it got even more special: It’ll be the first sports event in Las Vegas’ MSG Sphere.

“This is good; he has finally mentioned my name, and now we are going to fight. Because I have been calling him for six years, and he has been ignoring me. It feels good that he finally wants to fight me,” said Dvalishvili in an interview.
The O’Malley vs. Dvalishvili bout has been in the works since March. In February, Dvalishvili defeated Henry Cejudo by unanimous decision at UFC 298 before O’Malley beat Marlon Vera at UFC 299 in March.

LAS VEGAS – Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili had their final bit of pre-fight interaction at UFC 306 ceremonial weigh-ins Friday with one last staredown.
The headliner will see “Suga” Sean O’Malley once again put this Bantamweight belt up for grabs, as he is set to square off with Merab Dvalishvili.
This will be O’Malley’s second title defense of his mixed martial arts career. After winning the championship by beating Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292, he successfully held on to the belt when he defeated Marlon Vera by unanimous decisions at UFC 299 back in March. The Montana native has won six of his last seven fights (with one no-contest in 2022). He has a career record of 18-1 with 12 knockouts.
This is Dvalishvili’s first shot at a championship in the UFC. The 33-year-old has been part of the promotion since 2017, but has really made himself a contender as of late. He last beat Henry Cejudo at UFC 298 in February, marking his 10th straight victory. Dvalishvili is 17-4 in his career, all but four of his wins have come by decision.
O'Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) will put his bantamweight belt on the line against Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the main event of Noche UFC (pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+) at Sphere in what UFC CEO Dana White has touted to be a one-of-a-kind fight card, which airs on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+.
After both made weight earlier in the day, they engaged in the final staredown in front of fans and media. It was intense and both men were locked in. O'Malley looks to log a second consecutive title defense while Dvalishvili looks to capture gold and set the UFC record for longest winning streak in 135-pound history.
