MMA news

The highly anticipated rematch between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley is set to headline a stacked UFC 316 card taking place THIS WEEKEND.

These two fighters previously faced off in the main event of UFC 306 back in September. In that bout, the impressive Georgian, Merab Dvalishvili, delivered a surprising performance, outclassing Sean O`Malley over five rounds to claim the bantamweight championship title for the first time.

Sean O`Malley, on the other hand, will be seeking redemption and aiming to reclaim the title after being decisively defeated in their initial encounter.
