LAS VEGAS — The Sphere in Las Vegas' stole the show Saturday night at UFC 306. Merab Dvalishvili tried to his part at UFC 306, putting on a convincing — though not aesthetically pleasing — performance in capturing the bantamweight championship with a unanimous decision over Sean O'Malley. The judges scored it 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47 in favor of Dvalishvili. He used a ground-and-pound attack to control most of the action against O'Malley. Valentina Shevchenko reclaimed the women's flyweight championship with all three judges awarding her a 50-45 victory over Alexa Grasso in the co-main event at the transformational new masterpiece.
