Vegas UFC 306 is set to be one of the best events of the year. Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili are now separated by just one fight to determine who the superior fighter is after the face-off at Thursday’s UFC 306 pre-fight press conference. O’Malley is expected to defend the title against Dvalishvili in the main event of Noche UFC at Sphere.

Due to the intense tensions between the fighters, the event created even more hype for both fighters, as the fight was aired live on ESPN+ pay-per-view and ESPNews. Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili faced off for a staredown at the UFC 306 pre-fight press conference on Thursday to promote the UFC and the photo shoot.

Sean O’Malley Vs. Merab Dvalishvili

The bantamweight title will be on the line as the title holder, O’Malley, is scheduled to fight Dvalishvili in the main bout of Noche UFC 306 at Sphere. After the faceoff, both fighters shook hands and continued showing professionalism and respect to each other. Again, we could see them on the table for the press conference along with Dana White and all the other competing fighters. Alex Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko. O’Malley was asked by one of the reporters about his return to Vegas. O’Malley felt good about being back in Vegas and expressed that he was back in Vegas and better than ever.

Merab Dvalishvili accepted that O’Malley is one of the top fighters and an expert on knocking people out, but it will be different this time. Dvalishvili wants to fight top guys like O’Malley and is ready for this challenge in UFC 306. After this, he thanked the audience and his fans who were there to support him with the flags of Georgia and cheer him up for the upcoming big event. He also thanked Dana White, who allowed him to compete.

Co-Main Event

Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko had a good face-off. They appreciated each other and shook hands. After that, they held a press conference and talked about different aspects of the fight. Alexa Grasso appreciated her audience.

The organization praised Grasso for her recent performance, for which she expressed gratitude. On the other hand, Valentina Shevchenko had only one supporter in the audience who was holding the flag of Kyrgyzstan, and Shevchenko showed love to that supporter by standing up and pointing him out.

Final Thoughts

The UFC 306 main event is going to be very exciting because Sean O’Malley has been on top for a very long time and has lost only one fight in his whole MMA career. This fight might be the fight that causes his downfall because of the difference in the styles. Dvalishvili showed glimpses of his insane training this whole month, which makes us doubt O’Malley’s chances.

Alex Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko are unpredictable, and anything can happen because not many training videos or trash-talkin have happened. What are your thoughts about the upcoming UFC 306 Main and Co-main event? Feel free to use the comment section to let us know.
