Merab Dvalishvili ties fourth for longest UFC winning streak in history. With his win against O'Malley, Dvalishvili joins an elite club of UFC fighters to win 13 contests in a row

UFC 316 set the foundation for some of the next title fights we'll see in the future, as Merab Dvalishvili beat Sean O'Malley to retain the men's bantamweight title and Kayla Harrison knocked off Julianna Peña to claim the women's bantamweight championship.

Dvalishvili, despite English not being his first language, has found a way to connect with fans thanks to his friendly demeanor and his humbleness — not to mention the silly social-media videos he frequently produces, a staple of the lead-up to his capture of O’Malley’s UFC gold last September that returned ahead of their rematch.

After a slightly disappointing 2-3 result for our best bets for UFC 314, our 2025 record sits at 14-9. We'll look to continue our roll on Saturday, with our only rule remaining that all bets must be at odds of -250 or better. Let's take a look at this week's picks.

Two bantamweight championships are up for grabs tonight in Newark, New Jersey, when Merab Dvalishvili puts his belt on the line against Suga Sean O’Malley and Julianna Pena defends against Kayla Harrison in the co-main events.
