By Jeff Wagenheim Verified, Ian Parker| ESPN Verified The UFC announced Tuesday that two of the most-anticipated fights of the summer will land on the same card, as men's bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and former title holder Sean O'Malley will stage a rematch of their UFC 306 showdown and women's bantamweight champion Julianna Peña puts her belt on the line against former two-time PFL champ Kayla Harrison at UFC 316 on June 7 (10 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV, with prelims at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+).
By Jeff Wagenheim Verified| ESPN Verified The UFC 310 main event is a mystery story, one that will play out in a narrative genre that's not so much whodunit as who-is-it. Saturday's fight pits a low-profile champion from a lower-profile weight class, men's flyweight Alexandre Pantoja, against a challenger many U.S. fans will see for the first time, Kai Asakura. Maybe leaning into the unknown is the UFC's way of building the suspense.
