UFC 316 set the foundation for some of the next title fights we'll see in the future, as Merab Dvalishvili beat Sean O'Malley to retain the men's bantamweight title and Kayla Harrison knocked off Julianna Peña to claim the women's bantamweight championship. Both Dvalishvili and Harrison won via submission.
Dvalishvili and Harrison's next opponents appear to be all but set. It's expected that Cory Sandhagen will challenge Dvalishvili, while the new women's bantamweight title holder is expected to face the women's MMA GOAT, Amanda Nunes, in her next fight.
