UFC 316 will feature a welterweight bout between Khaos Williams and Uros Medic on June 7 at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, alongside a bantamweight title rematch and a women’s bantamweight title fight.
UFC 316 is gearing up for an explosive welterweight showdown. Exciting, right?
On Tuesday, sources spilled the beans to MMA Fighting. Khaos Williams is set to clash with Uros Medic at 170 pounds. This epic battle goes down on June 7 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Al Zullino broke the news first.
Williams, a UFC sensation since 2020, is known for his knockout prowess. Remember his wins over Alex Morono, Abdul Razak Alhassan, Miguel Baeza, and Carlston Harris? Recently, though, he faced a setback. Gabriel Bonfim caught him in a brabo choke at UFC Vegas 102, putting him to sleep. Ouch.
Medic, on the other hand, joined the UFC through the Contender Series in 2021. Initially a lightweight, he moved up to 170 pounds in 2023. With a 4-3 record in seven fights, every bout ended in a stoppage. His last fight? A quick knockout by Punahele Soriano at UFC Vegas 101—just 31 seconds in!
But wait, there’s more! UFC 316 is headlined by a thrilling bantamweight title rematch. Merab Dvalishvili takes on Sean O’Malley. And the co-main event? A women’s bantamweight title fight featuring Julianna Peña versus Kayla Harrison. Talk about a stacked card!
