The UFC makes its debut at The Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday, with a headline fight that sees Sean O'Malley place his bantamweight title on the line against Merab Dvalishvili.
O'Malley comes into this fight off the back of avenging his only career defeat, having beaten Marlon "Chito" Vera in his first title defense in UFC 299.
He now takes on Georgian grappler Dvalishvili, who is on a seemingly unstoppable streak of 10 straight wins with former champions José Aldo, Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo all falling victim to the 33-year-old.
The bill also boasts a strong support act, with Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko facing off in a trilogy fight for the women's flyweight title.

The UFC has a long-running partnership with ESPN. That's great news for the UFC and the expansion of the sport of MMA, but bad news for the consumer choice of US UFC fans.
In the US, if you want to watch UFC 306, you'll find the fight night only on pay-per-view through ESPN Plus. The cost structure is a bit confusing, but here are the options to watch UFC on ESPN, according to ESPN's site:
Existing annual ESPN Plus subscribers can order the upcoming UFC card for $80. New ESPN Plus subscribers can buy a bundle of UFC 306 PPV event (streaming in HD) and an ESPN Plus annual recurring subscription for $135. This is a decent deal. The ESPN Plus annual ESPN subscription will auto-renew after one year, at the price of an ESPN Plus annual subscription at the time of auto-renewal.You can do all of the above at the link below.
TNT Sports is the exclusive UK broadcaster for all numbered UFC events in the UK. You can access TNT Sports in exactly the same way as its predecessor BT Sport, including via Sky Q as a TV package, as well as the option of streaming online. It costs £30 either way and comes in a package that includes Discovery Plus' library of documentary content.
You can check out the PPV on Kayo in Australia.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
