How to watch UFC 316: Dvalishvili vs O'Malley 2

UFC 316: Dvalishvili vs. O’Malley 2 is set for Saturday, June 7th, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The event features a bantamweight title rematch between champion Merab Dvalishvili and former titleholder Sean O’Malley.

At UFC 306 in September 2024, Dvalishvili beat O’Malley by unanimous decision, using his strong wrestling to control the fight. Since then, O’Malley has been working on his grappling defense, training with former champ Demetrious Johnson to get ready for the rematch.

In the co-main event, Julianna Peña will defend her women’s bantamweight title against Kayla Harrison, a former PFL champion and Olympic gold medalist in judo. Harrison is still undefeated in the UFC and is chasing her first UFC belt, while Peña looks to hold on to hers.

How to watch UFC 316: Dvalishvili vs O'Malley 2

You might be geo-blocked if you're trying to stream UFC 316 from abroad. Broadcasters usually restrict their streams to certain countries, so where you are can affect which platform you’re able to use.

Using a VPN lets you get around these location blocks by connecting through a server in a supported country, giving you full access to the fight wherever you are.

Here’s where UFC 316 is officially available:

• ESPN+ – only for viewers in the United States
• TNT Sports (via Discovery+) – only in the United Kingdom
• Kayo Sports – exclusively in Australia
• Setanta Sports – available in Ukraine and select Eastern European countries

If you're in a region without official UFC coverage, a VPN can still get you access. It hides your real IP address and connects you to a server in another country, making it look like you're in a region where the fight is available to stream.

How to stream UFC 316 with a VPN

1. Choose a reliable VPN. I recommend NordVPN for its stable performance and wide server selection
2. Install the VPN app on your preferred device (desktop, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV)
3. Connect to a server in the country where your preferred streaming service is available (e.g., an Australian server for Kayo Sports)
4. Log in to the streaming platform and enjoy the fight

Predictions for UFC 316

The main event is a rematch between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley. Their first fight was all Merab, who used nonstop wrestling and kept a relentless pace to control the action. O’Malley’s been working on his takedown defense and grappling this time, so it’ll be interesting to see if he can turn things around.

The co-main is a title fight between Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison. Peña’s been in tough fights before and knows how to stay in them, but Harrison is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo and looked dominant in her UFC debut. If Harrison takes her down early, Peña could have a hard time getting back into the fight, but she’s experienced and tough to put away.

Geoff Neal vs Kevin Holland looks like it’ll be an exciting fight. They both like to stand up and throw punches, and neither holds back much. Holland has more ways to win, but Neal hits really hard and just needs one good shot. Then there’s Bo Nickal vs Brad Tavares. Tavares is experienced and knows what he’s doing, but if Nickal starts wrestling early, he’ll probably take control and stay on top.

Overall, it’s a good card with some big things to watch for, especially in the main event. If O’Malley can turn things around this time, it could change what happens next in the division.
