Joshua Van and Bruno Silva are matching up again, now at the June 7 pay-per-view in Newark, N.J..
MMA Fighting confirmed the news following a report from Marcell Dorff.
UFC 316 takes place at Prudential Center in Newark. Tthe promotion has yet to announce a headlining attraction for the card.
Van (13-2) and Silva (14-6-2, 1 NC) were originally scheduled to face off on March 8 in Las Vegas, but Silva was forced off the card due to multiple injuries. Van defeated replacement Rei Tsuruya via decision and is now on a three-fight winning streak with a trio of decisions, improving to 6-1 overall since joining the UFC.
Silva, on the other hand, is looking to rebound from a third-round stoppage to Manel Kape. The Brazilian was 4-0 with four finishes prior to that setback, pocketing $50,000 bonuses for each of those wins.
