Record: 19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC
19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC Opponent: Sean O'Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC)
Sean O'Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) Division: Bantamweight
Bantamweight Key wins: Umar Nurmagomedov, Sean O'Malley, Henry Cejudo, Petr Yan, Jose Aldo
Umar Nurmagomedov, Sean O'Malley, Henry Cejudo, Petr Yan, Jose Aldo Misc.: It's been more than seven years since Dvalishvili lost a fight. He already has a win over O'Malley to take the title, and he wasted no time with a brilliant defense three months later against Nurmagomedov – in which he was a champion underdog.
Main event: Sean O'Malley
Record: 18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC
18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC Opponent: Merab Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC)
Merab Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC) Division: Bantamweight
Bantamweight Key wins: Marlon Vera, Aljamain Sterling, Petr Yan
Marlon Vera, Aljamain Sterling, Petr Yan Misc.: O'Malley will attempt to become a two-time champion in the second rematch of his career. The first rematch came against Vera in his first title defense as bantamweight champion at UFC 299. His next time out, he lost the belt to Dvalishvili.
Co-main event: Julianna Peña
Record: 13-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC
13-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC Opponent: Kayla Harrison (18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC)
Kayla Harrison (18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) Division: Women's bantamweight
Women's bantamweight Key wins: Raquel Pennington, Amanda Nunes, Sara McMann, Cat Zingano
Raquel Pennington, Amanda Nunes, Sara McMann, Cat Zingano Misc.: Peña became a two-time champion when she took a split decision from Pennington this past October. It was a fight that roughly 95 percent of media members scored for Pennington. That may lend some credence to why Peña is such a big betting underdog as the champion.
Co-main event: Kayla Harrison
Record: 18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC
18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC Opponent: Julianna Peña (13-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC)

Ketlen Vieira, Holly Holm, Aspen Ladd, Larissa Pacheco (twice) Misc.: Two-time Olympic judo gold medalist and two-time PFL champion Harrison needed just two wins to get a UFC title shot and comes in as one of the most heavily favored challengers in UFC title history at more than 6-1.

Record: 20-1
20-1 Opponent: Mario Bautista (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC)
Mario Bautista (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) Division: Bantamweight
Bantamweight Key wins: Magomed Magomedov (twice), Sergio Pettis, Raufeon Stots, Kyoji Horiguchi
Magomed Magomedov (twice), Sergio Pettis, Raufeon Stots, Kyoji Horiguchi Misc.: Mix arrives as a dominant Bellator champion, potentially with a chip on his shoulder after sitting out more than a year after the PFL effectively shelved the company and his services. The Las Vegas-based 31-year-old is engaged to UFC women's standout Tatiana Suarez and will be expected to make a quick entry to contender status in his new home promotion.
UFC debut: Andreas Gustafsson
Record: 11-2
11-2 Opponent: Khaos Williams (15-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC)
Khaos Williams (15-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) Division: Welterweight

Merab Dvalishvili ‘not gonna give' his title back to Sean O'Malley in rematch at UFC 316
Two years and one month later, Merab Dvalishvili is returning to the scene of the crime at Prudential Center. On Saturday, he will look to make it case-closed against Sean O'Malley in their bantamweight championship rematch in the UFC 316 main event, nine months after the Republic of Georgia native took the title off his rival. Advertisement 'Now, he's going to try to take my belt back,' former New York construction worker Dvalishvili told The Post earlier this week, 'but I'm not going to give it.' Long before Dvalishvili snagged O'Malley's gold, though, he nabbed his clothes.

Ariane da Silva's team says big UFC 316 weight miss related to pituitary tumor treatment
Ariane da Silva's team says big UFC 316 weight miss related to pituitary tumor treatment UFC women's flyweight Ariane da Silva stepped on the scale Friday morning closer to the bantamweight division, and her team has since provided a shocking explanation. Da Silva (17-10 MMA, 6-7 UFC) is scheduled to face Wang Cong at UFC 316 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) in a preliminary bout at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., but the fight was in jeopardy of not going forward after the official weigh-in session. Weighing in at 132 pounds, da Silva came in six pounds over the flyweight limit. Cong (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), who made 125 pounds on the nose, would have been justified in refusing the fight, but decided to keep the bout alive. Renato da Silva, Ariane's husband, told MMA Fighting that a poor treatment plan for a benign pituitary tumor led to complications with the weight cut. According to Ariane's coach, the tumor was discovered during further examination after a blood test during fight camp showed abnormal levels of prolactin and cortisol. The team brought in a new nutritionist to deal with the weight cut for UFC 316, but the plan did not work. "We wanted to get the cortisol levels down so it wouldn't affect her health," Renato told MMA Fighting in Portuguese (translated by MMA Fighting). "By controlling the cortisol levels, we wanted to cause as little stress as possible to her body. And the nutritionist opted for a strategy that would have her hold as much as weight as possible until the end, and it was too much for the final days. He doesn't know her as much as I do, and he thought she would be able to do that. "There was a moment this morning she wasn't feeling good. I know her body. There was still something left there to cut, but at the same time, her reactions weren't normal. She wasn't walking right, she was blinking too slow, she had double vision, and couldn't focus, her voice sounded weak. She was giving us dangerous signs as she dropped weight." After contacting the UFC's medical staff, it was determined that attempting to cut the remaining six pounds would be too dangerous, so the weight cut was stopped. The team places some blame on the nutritionist's plan to get Ariane to the flyweight limit. "It was too much (weight) for such a short amount of time," Renato said. "I think that was the mistake by the nutritionist. We trusted the process, and unfortunately, it didn't work. It's a mistake we made. I also made that mistake as a coach, to have believed and tried something different, but my goal is always to take care of the health of Ariane, an athlete and also my wife. I'll always put her health first." Cong accepted the new terms of the fight after weigh-ins, which included 30 percent of da Silva's purse, and the fight changed to a catchweight at 132 pounds.
