Early Fight Week Odds for the O'Malley vs. Dvalishvili Fight Card

The UFC 306 fight card is upon us. The ESPN+ pay-per-view card takes place on Saturday, September 14, at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley takes on top-ranked Merab Dvalishvili in the main event.

In the co-main event of the event, also known as Noche UFC, current UFC women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso will face former champion Valentina Shevchenko in a trilogy fight.

Also on the main card: Rising featherweight Diego Lopes faces former UFC title challenger Brian Ortega in a fight originally scheduled to take place at UFC 303.

O'Malley (18-1-0-1) won the UFC bantamweight crown with a second-round TKO over Aljamain Sterling in August 2023. In his first title defense, O'Malley avenged his only career loss, a TKO loss in August 2020, with a decision victory over Marlon “Chito” Vera at UFC 299.

Dvalishvili (17-4) lost his first two UFC fights. Since then, he has been perfect, with a 10-0 record. His last three wins, all decisions, have come against former UFC champions Jose Aldo, Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo. Dvalishvili is a training partner of Sterling.

Grasso (16-3-1) took the UFC women's title from Shevchenko (23-4-1) by submission in March 2023. Shevchenko had defended the title seven times before this setback. The two met in a rematch in September 2023. That contest ended in a draw. The trilogy fight will take place on Saturday at UFC 306.

Ortega (16-3-0-1) was scheduled to face Lopes (25-6) at UFC 303 in June. Due to weight concerns, Ortega had to request to move the fight from featherweight to lightweight a day before the weigh-in. Lopes accepted and the pair were weighed in. However, Ortega dropped out on the day of the fight and withdrew from the contest. Lopes remained on the card and accepted a last-minute fight against Dan Ige in the 165-pound division. Lopes won that fight by decision.

Ortega is the No. 3 fighter in the official UFC featherweight rankings, while Lopes is ranked 12th.

Below we look at the betting odds at the start of fight week for the entire UFC 306 fight card.
