The Octagon returns to New Jersey for tonight’s UFC 316 event, a 13-bout fight card headlined by Merab Dvalishvili vs. Sean O’Malley 2.
Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA) will be competing for the first time since scoring his first successful title defense against Umar Nurmagomedov at January’s UFC 311 event in California. ‘The Machine’ will enter this evening’s headliner sporting a 12-fight winning streak, which includes victories over former UFC champions Petr Yan, Henry Cejudo and Jose Aldo.
Meanwhile, Sean O’Malley will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since dropping the UFC bantamweight title to Dvalishvili at UFC 306 in September of last year. Prior to that setback, ‘Suga’ was riding a 7-fight unbeaten streak which saw him capture the 135lbs strap from Aljamain Sterling.
UFC 316 is co-headlined by a highly anticipated women’s bantamweight title fight between Julianna Pena and Kayla Harrison.
Pena (12-5 MMA) recaptured the promotion’s bantamweight title this past October at UFC 307, scoring a controversial split decision victory over Raquel Pennington. Prior that the win, ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ had suffered a lopsided decision loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 277.
Meanwhile, Kayla Harrison (18-1 MMA) was most previously seen in the Octagon at UFC 307 in Utah, where she scored a unanimous decision victory over Ketlen Vieira. The former PFL champion has gone 2-0 since joining the UFC ranks in April of 2024.
Also featured on tonight’s UFC 306 main card is the highly anticipated debut of Patchy Mix who will be squaring off with Mario Bautista.
Mix (20-1 MMA) will be competing for the first time since defending the Bellator bantamweight world title against Magomed Magomedov 13 months ago in Paris, France. Patchy will enter his UFC debut sporting a 7-fight winning streak.
Meanwhile, Mario Bautista (15-2 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since outpointing Jose Aldo at UFC 307 in October of last year. The 31-year-old is also riding a 7-fight winning streak ahead of tonight’s affair.
