A significant rematch is set to headline the action-packed UFC 316 card this weekend, featuring Merab Dvalishvili taking on Sean O’Malley.
Their initial clash was the main event at UFC 306 last September, where the impressive Georgian fighter, Merab Dvalishvili, delivered a surprising performance over five rounds to claim the bantamweight championship title for the first time. Sean O`Malley will be looking for redemption after being clearly outclassed in their previous encounter.
Since winning the title, Dvalishvili has successfully defended it, securing another decision victory against Umar Nurmagomedov.
The co-main event for Saturday night features Olympic judo champion Kayla Harrison making her UFC debut against Julianna Pena for the women`s bantamweight belt.
