UFC 316’s Exciting Bantamweight Display: Post-Fight Facts
UFC 316 is in the books, and with it, a pair of superb title fights from both the men’s and women’s bantamweight divisions.
Jumping back into the fray after recording a spectacular win over the then-undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 314, Merab Dvalishvili faced his nemesis Sean O’Malley at UFC 316 for a second time since dethroning the American last September to win the title. Although he did trounce “Suga” by unanimous decision in their first meeting, “The Machine” left no room for speculation after securing the third round submission to etch his second defense of his strap.
