UFC CEO Dana White has officially confirmed the main and co-main events for UFC 316. The event is scheduled to take place on June 7th in Newark, South Carolina.
Headlining the card will be a highly anticipated rematch for the flyweight championship. Current titleholder Merab Dvalishvili is set to face off against Sean O`Malley once more.
In the co-main event, a significant women`s bantamweight bout has been booked. Former division champion Julianna Pena will compete against two-time Olympic gold medalist and former PFL star Kayla Harrison.
This upcoming fight between Dvalishvili and O`Malley will be their second encounter. Their initial meeting occurred last September, with the Georgian fighter, Merab Dvalishvili, securing a victory via unanimous decision. Dvalishvili recently made his first title defense in January, where he defeated Umar Nurmagomedov by decision, handing him his first professional loss.
