Get ready for UFC 316, set to electrify the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey this Saturday. The event is topped by not one, but two pivotal championship clashes in the bantamweight division.
In the main event, Merab Dvalishvili is scheduled to defend his bantamweight title in a highly anticipated rematch against Sean O’Malley. Dvalishvili previously captured the belt from O`Malley at UFC 306, setting the stage for this compelling second encounter between the two elite competitors.
The co-main event features Julianna Peña putting her recently acquired bantamweight championship on the line against former PFL champion Kayla Harrison. Harrison is making her much-awaited debut inside the octagon in this significant title opportunity, presenting a fresh challenge for Peña.
Leading up to the event, a dedicated `UFC 316 Countdown` video offers an in-depth preview of these two featured championship bouts. The documentary explores key storylines, including O`Malley`s recovery following his previous fight, Peña`s journey back to claiming the women`s bantamweight title, and Harrison`s extensive path that has led her to this momentous opportunity in the UFC.
