We’re deep into Noche UFC (UFC 306) fight week, meaning it was recently time for the fighters set to be in action on September 14 to take to the stage and answer some questions.
The MMA leader’s latest numbered event takes place at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the main attraction of the Mexican Independence Day celebration will see UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O’Malley put his belt on the line against Merab Dvalishvili.
Setting the stage for the headliners will be another title fight, with reigning flyweight queen Alexa Grasso looking to record a second victory over the great Valentina Shevchenko in their trilogy, which comes after their rematch ended in a draw at last year’s inaugural Noche UFC event.
Also on pay-per-view will be #12-ranked featherweight Diego Lopes, who will shoot for the top five in a rearranged showdown with former two-time title challenger Brian Ortega.
As is customary during major fight weeks, the athletes took to the stage on Thursday for the pre-fight press conference. The Noche UFC edition saw every fighter set to make the walk inside the Sphere in two days’ time with mic in hand.
Check out a replay of the presser below via the UFC’s official YouTube channel, followed by all the highlights and faceoffs.
