UFC CEO Dana White has announced exciting news: two bantamweight title fights will headline UFC 316, marking the UFC`s return to New Jersey.
The main event of UFC 316, scheduled for June 7th at the Prudential Center in Newark, will feature a highly anticipated rematch between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley for the bantamweight championship. Their first encounter at UFC 306 saw Dvalishvili defeat O’Malley by unanimous decision to claim the title.
In the co-main event, Julianna Peña, now a two-time women’s bantamweight champion, will defend her newly acquired title for the first time against Kayla Harrison.
