Main Event
In the main event grudge match, UFC superstar and 2024 ESPYS Best UFC Fighter award winner, Sean O’Malley (18-1) makes his second defense of the UFC men’s bantamweight championship against No. 1 contender Merab Dvalishvili (17-4). After winning the title last August by stopping Aljamain Sterling in the second round and becoming the second Dana White’s Contender Series alum to win a UFC championship, O’Malley defended it successfully against Marlon “Chito” Vera, extending his unbeaten streak to seven. Dvalishvili is on a 10-fight winning streak of his own that includes three straight victories over former UFC champions. A relentless competitor with 79 takedowns, the most among active fighters, Dvalishvili aims to dethrone O’Malley and become Georgia’s second UFC champion.
Co-Main Event
In the co-main event, The Ultimate Fighter season 32 coaches Alexa Grasso (16-3-1) and Valentina Shevchenko (23-4-1) meet for the first women’s trilogy bout in UFC history, with the women’s flyweight title once again on the line. Grasso and Shevchenko, the current and former women’s UFC No. 1 pound-for-pound fighters, respectively, still have business to settle. In their first bout, Grasso was awarded the upset and submission of the year for her win, becoming the first Mexican female UFC champion. Their second meeting ended in a draw at last year’s Noche UFC. Grasso comes into Saturday riding a six-fight unbeaten streak, as former champion Shevchenko, who holds nearly every record in UFC women’s flyweight division history, enters her 11th UFC title fight in a row and looks for a statement win.
