Alexa Grasso Honored to Share UFC 306 Date with ‘Role Model’ Canelo Alvarez: “It’s amazing!”

While we already know how Dana White feels about running against Canelo Alvarez, reigning UFC flyweight women’s champion Alexa Grasso is thrilled to share the date with one of her role models.

On September 14, the promotion will make its highly anticipated debut at Sphere in Las Vegas for a combat sports event unlike anything that’s ever been done before. UFC 306, also known as Riyadh Season Noche UFC, will see two massive world title tilts as ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley puts his bantamweight belt up for grabs against the division’s top-ranked contender, Merab Dvalishvili.
