Merab Dvalishvili retained his 135-pound championship when he tapped out Sean O’Malley in the third round in the main event of UFC 316 at the Prudential Center.
Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes: No need for fantasy matchmaking, Harrison vs. Nunes is on the horizon. It's the only fight worth making in an otherwise stagnant division. UFC's most accomplished Olympian fights MMA's most accomplished female fighter, and there's history between them. This fight can't come soon enough.
Dvalishvili, despite English not being his first language, has found a way to connect with fans thanks to his friendly demeanor and his humbleness — not to mention the silly social-media videos he frequently produces, a staple of the lead-up to his capture of O’Malley’s UFC gold last September that returned ahead of their rematch.
