UFC CEO Dana White announced via Instagram Live a pair of bantamweight title fights for UFC’s return to Newark, New Jersey, on June 7 for UFC 316.
In the main event, bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili faces UFC superstar Sean O’Malley in a highly anticipated rematch less than a year after their first encounter. At UFC 306, Dvalishvili earned a five-round unanimous decision victory to dethrone O’Malley of his title.
