Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley are prepared to be resized again.
The rematch is set to UFC 316, and for just over a month on June 17th, the UFC released the official poster for the event featuring Dvalishvili and O’Malley.
Please see the poster below.
In the main event, Dvalishvili heads for the male bantamweight title for a second consecutive defense when he faces O’Malley, the man who received it. The two first fought at UFC 306 this September, with Dvalishvili making an unanimous decision over O’Malley. Dvalishvili followed suit with another decisive victory over undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov, extending his current winning streak to 12.
O’Malley has not competed since the first battle of dvalishvili. Following that loss, O’Malley took the time to undergo surgery for a hip injury, but frequently called for an immediate rematch.
Pena will enter UFC 316 as the women’s bantamweight champion in her second reign. “The Venezuelan Vixen” defeated Raquel Pennington to defeat Raquel Pennington to win a vacant seat in UFC 307, returning from an 800-day layoff. She has now won two Jewish two-time Olympic gold medalist Harrison, and 19 profights, including two UFC Outings.
