Merab Dvalishvili entered the UFC 306 bantamweight title fight last September at The Sphere in Las Vegas against then titleholder Sean O’Malley as the longtime top contender in the division.

Heading into the UFC 306 clash with “The Machine,” O’Malley was coming off his first title defense. He had settled the score with Maron “Chito” Vera , defeating the Ecuadorian in a one-sided decision.

Irene Aldana questions commission’s handling of massive cut at UFC 306: ‘My health was on the line’

Irene Aldana had a rough night at the office at UFC 306, and although a lot was unpreventable, some other things were not, at least according to the former UFC title challenger. Unfortunately for Aldana (15-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC), she suffered arguably the worst cut in UFC history during her decision loss to Norma Dumont in her women’s bantamweight bout at Sphere in Las Vegas last month. It was a gruesome gash that went from the bottom of her eyebrow all the way to her hairline and appeared to be half an inch wide. This nasty cut stemmed from an accidental, but illegal, headbutt towards the end of Round 2. Although these things happen in the chaotic nature of the fight game, Aldana claims she was hit more than once with headbutts. “It wasn’t just the only one headbutt, there were multiple in that fight,” Aldana told MMA Junkie in Spanish in an exclusive interview
