Merab Dvalishvili, men's bantamweightWho should be next: Cory SandhagenThe UFC doesn't always make matchups on fight night, but it's nice when it does -- especially an obvious one like this.
Sandhagen has taken a long route to his first official title fight, and he gets some blame for that.
The UFC would benefit by putting together an O'Malley fight people care about, and there's a shortage of those.
Wild card: Henry CejudoO'Malley has always wanted to fight Cejudo.
Kevin Holland, welterweightKevin Holland, blue gloves, stopped Vincent Luque, red gloves, with an anaconda choke to begin the UFC 316 main card.
