UFC 316 results: Dvalishvili submits O’Malley; Harrison claims bantamweight gold in Newark
The Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, witnessed a historic night at UFC 316 on June 7, 2025. Bantamweight king Merab “The Machine” Dvalishvili stretched his unbeaten streak to 13 by choking out fan-favorite Sean “Suga” O’Malley in their long-awaited rematch, while two-time Olympic champion Kayla Harrison captured the women’s bantamweight crown with a statement finish over former titleholder Julianna Peña.
Main card recap
• Merab Dvalishvili def. Sean O’Malley — submission (ninja choke), 4:42 R3
• Kayla Harrison def. Julianna Peña — submission (kimura), 4:55 R2
• Joe Pyfer def. Kelvin Gastelum — unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 30-27)
• Mario Bautista def. Patchy Mix — unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
• Kevin Holland def. Vicente Luque — submission (D’Arce choke), 1:03 R2
Dvalishvili dominates the rematch
From the opening bell, Dvalishvili’s pressure and chain-wrestling stifled O’Malley’s trademark footwork. After dictating the pace for two rounds, the Georgian powerhouse dragged the bout back to the canvas late in the third, locked in a tight ninja choke, and forced the former champion to tap. With back-to-back title defenses in 2025, Dvalishvili is now flirting with all-time bantamweight greatness. Possible challengers include surging contenders Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov, but “The Machine” called for a superfight at Madison Square Garden, declaring, “Anyone, anywhere—let’s keep the belt in motion.”
Kayla Harrison joins elite company
Harrison’s UFC title coronation came with trademark dominance. She grounded Peña early, survived a pair of illegal up-kicks, and transitioned to a kimura just seconds before the end of round two. The tap made her only the second Olympic gold medalist—after Henry Cejudo—to wear UFC gold. Post-fight, retired legend Amanda Nunes entered the Octagon for an electric face-off, teasing a blockbuster showdown later this year.
Notable main-card movers
• Joe “Bodybagz” Pyfer earned the biggest win of his career, flooring Kelvin Gastelum twice in round one before cruising to a clear decision. Pyfer demanded a ranked middleweight next, eyeing Jack Hermansson.
• Mario Bautista out-boxed former Bellator champ Patchy Mix, extending his streak to eight and cementing his place in the jam-stacked 135-lb hierarchy.
• Kevin Holland silenced critics by submitting submission specialist Vicente Luque with his own D’Arce choke, proving “Big Mouth” is still a serious welterweight factor.
Prelim highlights
The undercard delivered its share of fireworks. Joshua Van stopped Bruno Silva with third-round punches, while undefeated light-heavyweight Azamat Murzakanov flattened Brendson Ribeiro in 3:25. Heavyweight Waldo Cortes-Acosta out-pointed Serghei Spivac in a grinding three-rounder, and South Korean prospect JooSang Yoo needed just 28 seconds to starch Jeka Saragih.
What’s next?
With UFC 316 in the books, attention turns to International Fight Week and UFC 317 in Las Vegas, but the ripple effects of Newark’s results will echo for months. Will Dvalishvili chase a legacy bout or continue clearing out bantamweight contenders? Can Kayla Harrison add Nunes to her résumé and cement her status as MMA’s premier female athlete? Search traffic for “UFC 316 results,” “Dvalishvili vs O’Malley 2,” and “Harrison vs Peña” is already spiking—fans want answers, and the road to the next title fights starts now.
