UFC 306 may not have been the most stacked pay-per-view in the promotion's history, but it opened the door to a couple of very compelling title fights.
That includes the next Octagon appearance of Georgia's Merab Dvalishvili, who became the bantamweight champion with a lopsided decision win over Sean O'Malley in the main event, and Kyrgyzstan's Valentina Shevchenko, who became the first two-time women's flyweight champ in UFC history with a similarly dominant win over Mexico's Alexa Grasso. Shevchenko's win was was particularly important for her division, as she and Grasso had been tied up with a three-fight rivalry for over a year.
