Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley are set to run things back.

This Saturday, UFC 316 goes down, headlined by a pair of bantamweight title fights. In the co-main event, Julianna Peña puts her newly won title on the line against former PFL champion Kayla Harrison, and then in the main event, Merab Dvalishvili defends his belt against the man he took it from at UFC 306: Sean O'Malley.

The 'UFC 316 Countdown' video takes a closer look at both title fights, O'Malley's recovery from injury, Peña's path back to the women's bantamweight title, and Harrison's long journey to the UFC and this moment.

UFC 316 takes place this Saturday at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
