UFC on ESPN+ kicks off a significant five week stretch that includes two exclusive ESPN+ PPVs beginning Saturday, Aug. 17, with UFC 305: Du Plessis vs. Adesanya for the men’s middleweight championship and culminating with the historic Noche UFC: O’Malley vs. Dvalishvili from the Sphere in Las Vegas, the first live sporting event from the iconic venue.

The epic, one-of-a-kind night will decide both the men’s bantamweight championship, with champion Sean O’Malley facing No. 1 contender Merab Dvalishvili, and the women’s flyweight championship, featuring champion Alexa Grasso taking on former titleholder Valentina Shevchenko in their trilogy bout, following the duo’s coaching roles on this season’s The Ultimate Fighter.
