Most weekends are the time for fight fans to rejoice, as we tend to have UFC action to look forward to.
Some weekends, though, are bigger than others, and I think it’s fair to say that the one coming on Saturday falls into the bigger category.
UFC 316 is coming our way, with a main card that is home to a pair of massive title fights, including a rematch that promises to be a bruiser.
Betting on UFC 316: Dvalishvili vs O’Malley 2 Betting Preview
With all of that in mind, let’s look ahead to this weekend and the 5 matchups that sit on the main card of UFC 316.
Vicente Luque (+219) vs Kevin Holland (-256)
We get the main card started with a Welterweight bout that promises to be very competitive.
Both men are looking to get back to winning ways, with Luque and Holland both losing 3 of their last 5 fights.
Both have a very similar record and both broke losing streaks with a win last time out, but which of them will make it 2 in a row?
I am giving the slight edge to Holland, who I think takes it via KO.
^Mario Bautista (+154) vs Patchy Mix (-182)
Next up is a Bantamweight bout between a pair of fighters who aren’t used to losing.
Bautista is an impressive 15-2 as a pro and comes into this one on a 7-fight win streak, with the last 3 going the distance.
Mix is 20-1 overall and has won each of his last 8 fights. Both men are edging ever closer to a shot at the title, so a win here would be massive.
I am taking Mix to get the decision win in this one.

Kevin Gastelum (+303) vs Joe Pyfer (-385)
The numbered events tend to feature matchups that are tough to call, but this Middleweight bout does seem a little more predictable.
Gastelum is coming off a win, but he has struggled overall of late, losing 3 times in his last 5 fights.
During that same stretch, Pyfer has gone 4-1, taking his overall record to 13-3 in the process.
He seems to be trending upward while Gastelum is heading the other way, so it’s a Pyfer victory for me.
^Juliana Pena (+509) vs Kayla Harrison (-667)
The penultimate fight of the night also serves as the co-main event and is the first of 2 title fights.
Pena comes in as the current Bantamweight champion and a record of 11-5, but you do wonder how long she is going to be able to hold onto that belt, as this looks to be an ominous challenge.
Harrison has spent the last few years racking up wins in the PFL, taking her record to 18-1, and she now looks set to dominate here with a convincing win.
^Merab Dvalishvili (-278) vs Sean O’Malley (+231)
We close out the night with Merab Dvalishvili looking to defend his title for the second time, facing the man he originally beat to win the belt.
Dvalishvili is in his prime right now, winning 5 in a row, with each of those bouts going the distance.
I think we are likely to see more of the same here, as the first meeting went all the way.
O’Malley hasn’t fought since losing the belt, and while he might be a little fresher, I think he is still looking at another defeat here.
