10-9 Merab after R1 Not sure what Jason Herzog was doing during that clinch against the cage. He missed several fence grabs but that still didn't stop Merab. #UFC316

20-18 Merab through R2 O'Malley doing better with the takedown defense but Merab is actually cracking him with some hard shots on the feet #UFC316

AND STILL! Merab Dvalishvili just tapped out Sean O'Malley in the third round. He's the bantamweight GOAT. No question about it. #UFC316

Merab Dvalishvili acknowledges Cory Sandhagen is next: "Heโ€™s the most deserving guy. Heโ€™s a really good guy and I like his jokes, too.โ€ #UFC316

"Yes, I did" Amanda Nunes says she specifically left American Top Team because she knew she would eventually fight Kayla Harrison #UFC316

Dana White confirms Amanda Nunes hasn't returned to the UFC testing pool yet. Reminder, unless they give her an exemption, she needs 6 months of testing before fighting again, which means her vs. Kayla would get pushed to 2026. #UFC316

Just to be clear, if the UFC wants Kayla vs. Amanda in December, I'm quite confident they'll fight in December. (or November or whenever). I was frequently checking the testing pool to see if Amanda popped up but obviously she's not even back in there yet.
