UFC 316 Weigh-In Results: Title fights official, fighter misses by 6 pounds
UFC 316 tomorrow features a pair of high-stakes title fights at the bantamweight limit — and both of those pairings are official following today’s pre-fight weigh-ins in Newark.
Headlining the card, undisputed bantamweight kingpin, Merab Dvalishvili returns in a rematch against former titleholder, Sean O’Malley.
Last time out, the duo headlined Noche UFC back in September, where Dvalishvili turned in a unanimous decision win over Montana striker, O’Malley — winning the undisputed bantamweight crown.
And in the night’s co-headliner, two-time and incumbent bantamweight best, Julianna Pena will return against the streaking former two-time PFL lightweight tournament winner, Kayla Harrison.
Sidelined since UFC 307 back in October, Ultimate Fighter winner, Pena turned in a close decision win over Raquel Pennington to win the bantamweight crown.
And on that same card, two-time Olympic gold medal winner, Harrison managed to book her premiere title charge in the division, recording a forgettable unanimous judging win over Brazilian contender, Ketlen Vieira.
Also on the card, former Bellator MMA champion, Patchy Mix books his Octagon outing in a showdown against the surging bantamweight force, Mario Bautista.
