Both the UFC men's and women's bantamweight belts will be on the line at UFC 316 from Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday (10 p.m. ET on ESPN PPV, with prelims at 8 p.m. on ESPN/ESPN+/Disney+ and early prelims at 6 p.m. on ESPN+/Disney+). Merab Dvalishvili (19-4) will defend his title in a rematch against Sean O'Malley (18-2) in the main event after Julianna Peña (13-5) guards hers against Kayla Harrison (18-1). Bantamweight legend Amanda Nunes, who will be enshrined in the UFC Hall of Fame later this month, has confirmed that she plans to return to challenge for the belt again, regardless of who wins Saturday.
