UFC 316 Set for Newark Featuring Dvalishvili, O'Malley Rematch

UFC 316, scheduled for June 7 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, features a highly anticipated bantamweight title rematch between reigning champion Merab Dvalishvili and former titleholder Sean O’Malley. Dvalishvili, known for his dominant wrestling, aims to defend his belt and extend his winning streak, while O’Malley, a top striker, seeks to reclaim the title and finish the fight decisively. The event also includes a co-main event bantamweight title bout with Julianna Peña defending her championship against Kayla Harrison, a former PFL star and two-time Olympic gold medalist. The fight card is stacked with notable bouts, including UFC debutant Patchy Mix facing Mario Bautista, and other key matchups such as Vicente Luque vs. Kevin Holland and Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer. Betting odds favor Dvalishvili to retain his title due to his previous dominant performance and ongoing win streak, while Harrison enters as a heavy favorite against Peña despite having less UFC experience. UFC 316 will be available for American viewers on ESPN+ pay-per-view, with international streaming options provided in the UK and India.
