At the UFC 316 event, a new queen was crowned and the bantamweight king consolidated his position as the best 135-pound fighter of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, excitement and fast-paced action were largely absent from the card, which opted for dominant demonstrations and performances. Was this enough to get a passing grade?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We analyze each fight and the card as a whole, based on the skill demonstrated, the competitiveness, and what was at stake. Here is the analysis of the 13 fights of UFC 316.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Men&#8217;s Bantamweight Championship: Merab Dvalishvili vs. Sean O&#8217;Malley<\/h2>\n\n\n<strong>Result:<\/strong> Dvalishvili defeats O&#8217;Malley by submission in the third round.\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> B+<\/p>\n\n\nDvalishvili delivered another suffocating and relentless performance, dominating O&#8217;Malley without showing signs of fatigue. His endurance and ever-evolving offensive skills are impressive. O&#8217;Malley attempted an initial game plan, but Dvalishvili changed the pace and submitted him with a rear-naked choke in the third round. The question now is whether we are witnessing the best bantamweight in UFC history.\n\n<h2>Women&#8217;s Bantamweight Championship: Julianna Pe\u00f1a vs. Kayla Harrison<\/h2>\n\n<strong>Result:<\/strong> Harrison defeats Pe\u00f1a by submission in the second round.\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> B<\/p>\n\n\nHarrison dominated from the start, and Pe\u00f1a couldn&#8217;t counter the pressure. Harrison applied the pressure in the second round, taking Pe\u00f1a to the canvas and seeking the submission. Finally, Harrison secured a Kimura, securing the victory with five seconds remaining in the round. This performance raises questions about what a fight with Amanda Nunes would look like.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Middleweight: Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Pyfer defeats Gastelum by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> D+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pyfer took Gastelum down in the first minute, looking for a knockout. The fight went from a possible highlight to a boring match. Pyfer apologized for not getting the knockout, which makes it not very recommendable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Men&#8217;s Bantamweight: Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix<\/h2>\n\n\n<strong>Result:<\/strong> Bautista defeats Mix by unanimous decision.\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> C<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it wasn&#8217;t a bad fight, Mix didn&#8217;t meet expectations. The renowned grappler didn&#8217;t take the fight to the ground and chose to stand and trade with Bautista. It was a bad debut for Mix, but a great victory for Bautista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Welterweight: Vicente Luque vs. Kevin Holland<\/h2>\n\n\n<strong>Result:<\/strong> Holland defeats Luque by submission in the second round.\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> B<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holland delivered one of his best performances, surprising Luque with an anaconda choke. He reminded everyone how dangerous he can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Men&#8217;s Flyweight: Bruno Silva vs. Joshua Van<\/h2>\n\n\n<strong>Result:<\/strong> Van defeats Silva by TKO in the third round.\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> B<\/p>\n\n\nVan demonstrated great precision and patience, surpassing Silva. After losing to Charles Johnson last July, Van has shown a notable improvement in each fight, making him a potential title contender.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0609%2Fr1504387_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Joshua Van, izquierda, gan\u00f3 su cuarta pelea consecutiva en la UFC 316 contra Bruno Silva.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light Heavyweight: Azamat Murzakanov vs. Brendson Ribeiro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Murzakanov defeats Ribeiro by TKO in the first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Grade:<\/strong> B-<\/p>\n\n\nMurzakanov earned his eleventh knockout victory, defeating Ribeiro in the first round. Murzakanov deserves a better opponent in his next fight.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heavyweight: Serghei Spivac vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Cortes-Acosta defeats Spivac by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> D<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fight didn&#8217;t contribute anything to the heavyweight division, with a lackluster bout. This confrontation only highlighted the vast distance between Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall, and the rest of the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Welterweight Weight: Khaos Williams vs. Andreas Gustafsson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Gustafsson defeats Williams by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> D+<\/p>\n\n\nGustafsson dominated Williams, but the fight was unexciting due to the constant clinching.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0609%2Fr1504393_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Andreas Gustafsson, derecha, fue implacable en su victoria sobre Khaos Williams, pero no fue divertido de ver.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Women&#8217;s Flyweight: Ariane da Silva vs. Wang Cong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Wang defeats Da Silva by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> C<\/p>\n\n\nWang dominated Da Silva, who had a weight disadvantage. Wang almost got a knockout with leg kicks, but couldn&#8217;t finish the fight. Although it wasn&#8217;t very competitive, it was a good demonstration of Wang&#8217;s skill.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peso Pluma: Jeka Saragih vs. JooSang Yoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Yoo defeats Saragih by KO in the first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> A<\/p>\n\n\nYoo achieved a spectacular knockout, similar to Conor McGregor&#8217;s style, with a left hook that knocked down Saragih. A work of art.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lightweight: Quillan Salkilld vs. Yanal Ashmouz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Salkilld defeats Ashmouz by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> C<\/p>\n\n\nSalkilld dominated for two rounds, but Ashmouz reacted in the third. Salkilld secured the victory by showing his endurance.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lightweight: MarQuel Mederos vs. Mark Choinski<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Mederos defeats Choinski by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> C-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mederos dominated with calf kicks, but failed to finish the fight. It was a solid performance, though not particularly exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC 316 Fight Card Rating: C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it weren&#8217;t for the outstanding performances of Dvalishvili, Harrison, Yoo, and Van, the card would have been disappointing. The main and co-main events showcased two rising stars with dominant performances. Van proved to be a future flyweight title contender, and Yoo delivered a knockout that will be remembered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC 316: A Detailed Analysis of the Fight Card The UFC&#8217;s return to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, was marked by two title fights.
