Welcome to Midnight Mania! Sean O’Malley and Henry Cejudo, both hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, find themselves in a tense rivalry despite existing in the same training hub. While the duo have engaged in verbal sparring, their conflicts have yet to manifest in a physical confrontation, with their interactions limited to a brief podcast exchange. O’Malley is currently preparing for his upcoming bout against Merab Dvalishvili, slated as the headline event at UFC 306 at The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amidst his fight preparations, O’Malley didn’t shy away from expressing his disdain for Cejudo, branding him as “a f#cking weasel,” and critiquing his demeanor and arrogance. O’Malley asserts that Cejudo is evading the prospect of facing him and asserts his dominance by claiming he would be a formidable opponent in the ring. The likelihood of a face-off between the two combatants remains uncertain, especially with Cejudo contemplating a return to the Flyweight division. Despite Cejudo’s accolades, the tension between O’Malley and him shows no signs of easing unless resolved within the confines of the Octagon.
Switching gears, UFC 306 promises an electrifying main event pitting Sean O’Malley against Merab Dvalishvili and a co-headlining bout featuring Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko. The main card of the pay-per-view (PPV) event will showcase thrilling matchups like Brian Ortega vs. Diego Lopes and Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Aoriqileng. The event is slated to kick off with the Prelims card at 6:30 p.m. ET, followed by the PPV main card at 10 p.m. ET. Don’t miss out on the exhilarating showdowns!
