Summary

Merab Dvalishvili is still the UFC bantamweight champion after submitting Sean O'Malley in the third round of their rematch in the main event of UFC 316. While it appears Dvalishvili will defend his title against Cory Sandhagen next, where does O'Malley go after losing to Dvalishvili for the second straight time? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, join MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee as they discuss where Dvalishvili and O'Malley go following their UFC 316 championship headliner. Additionally, they discuss what's next for Kayla Harrison and Julianna Pena after Harrison stopped the now-former two-time champ in the second round, Joe Pyfer following his decision win over Kelvin Gastelum, Mario Bautista after his dominant decision win against former Bellator champ Patchy Mix, along with fellow main card winner Kevin Holland, and more.
