UFC 306, set for September 14, is tailored for a Mexican audience, coinciding with Mexican Independence Day celebrations. Dana White has introduced eight new Octagon girls, with six being native Mexicans and two second-generation Mexicans, to enhance the event's cultural connection. This event will also feature a film titled 'For Mexico, For All Time,' highlighting various periods of Mexican history, displayed on the Sphere's extensive LED screens. The main event includes Sean O'Malley defending his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili, alongside Alexa Grasso defending her flyweight belt in the UFC's first women's trilogy fight. However, the inclusion of Octagon girls has sparked criticism from some, including UFC co-creator Campbell McLaren, who believes the focus should be on fighters rather than ring girls. Despite mixed reactions, the UFC aims to strengthen ties with the Mexican fanbase through this unique event.
