UFC 320 brings the octagon back to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for a world title double-header of unmissable pay-per-view action. It was far from an upset when Magomed Ankalaev dethroned Alex Pereira at light-heavyweight earlier this year, but it did the sport no favors. Yet another Eastern-style grappler takes a belt and casual fans are driven away by a five-round bore. Now, the Brazilian has a chance to not only get his belt back, but potentially save the sport in the eyes of fans who believe his style can attract more mainstream eyeballs. The co-main event is another …

UFC Perth sees the Octagon back at the RAC Arena for a major Fight Night, ahead of the return of pay-per-view. In the main event, New Zealand’s Carlos Ulberg takes on the man who many believe defeated Jon Jones back in 2020; Dominick Reyes. The former light-heavyweight title contender had a disastrous run following that infamous night, but has been on a massive comeback arc that has seen him win three fights by knockout in a row. It’s unclear if there are title implications just yet for both men, but a loss could spell the end of both of their …

UFC 319 has arrived as the sport’s biggest promotion heads back to Chicago with world title pay-per-view action. Two controversial figures make up the main event as Dricus Du Plessis defends his middleweight title against Khamzat Chimaev in a highly-anticipated battle at the famed United Center. The co-main event will surely have major title implications at featherweight as the undefeated Lerone Murphy steps up on short notice to face the newcomer Aaron Pico. Former Bellator star Pico was due to face number one contender Movsar Evloev in his debut, but now stays around the top of the division. The undercard …

UFC 318 brings the octagon to New Orleans, Louisiana for a rare pay-per-view that’s completely dedicated to celebrating the career of Dustin Poirier. The legendary former interim lightweight champion has decided to call time on one of the most fan-friendly careers in combat sport history, and as such has been granted a special retirement party in his home state. Standing across from him is the ‘BMF’ champion Max Holloway for a trilogy bout that takes both men back to their early UFC careers. Poirier is currently 2-0 up, but this will be deemed the most competitive fight of the three …

After Islam Makhachev opted to move up to welterweight in pursuit of a second world title, Ilia Topuria stepped up to fight for a second strap of his own. Standing in his way is former champion Charles Oliveira, whose late-career resurgence to the world level has become the stuff of legend. It’s a tough grappling test for renowned striker Topuria, who cleaned out featherweight when he stopped legends Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway last year. In the co-main event, Kai Kara-France looks to dethrone the seemingly unbeatable Alexandre Pantoja. It’s something of a rematch given that the pair met over …

UFC Vegas 106 sees the famous Octagon return home to the smaller Apex venue, as Gilbert Burns makes his return from potential retirement talks to take on the undefeated Michael Morales.  It’s never as exciting a night of action when the UFC settles at the Apex, with limited crowds generally providing a dull atmosphere, which makes the fights feel more like spars at times. However, this can lead to some interesting and unexpected showings, particularly from younger fighters trying to earn their spot in the division and get out of the venue. By Apex standards, this is also a relatively …

UFC 315 sees the Octagon return to Montreal; the site of some of the promotion’s biggest nights as two world titles are put on the line. In the main event, Belal Muhammad takes on Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight title. Ian Machado Garry has been making his presence felt as the back-up fighter should either man miss weight, but it’s unlikely he will be needed as neither man has historically had any issue making the 170lb limit. The co-main event sees French star Manon Fiorot attempt to end the latest title reign of the legendary Valentina Shevchenko. She hasn’t …

UFC Des Moines sees a fascinating night of fights arrive at the Wells Fargo Arena in Iowa on Saturday night with a bantamweight main event between two top contenders at 135lb.  Deiveson Figueiredo takes on Corey Sandhagen in a main event with serious implications atop the division. Meanwhile the co-main sees the return of two rising stars in Reinier De Ridder and Bo Nickal in the middleweight division.  The fight that has fans most excited, however, is the main card opener between former Cage Warriors champion Mason Jones and the returning Jeremy Stephens. Hometown star Stephens had been smashing it …

UFC Kansas City brings the Octagon to the Delta Center on Saturday night with a welterweight clash that saved the day when the original main event was cancelled due to injury.  Fans were due to see former champion Jamahal Hill against recent contender Khalil Rountree Jr in an exciting light-heavyweight clash. However, when Rountree pulled out and the bout was rescheduled for Baku this summer, Ian Machado Garry stepped up to take on the fast-rising welterweight contender Carlos Prates and save the main event. Irishman Garry is a divisive figure with fans, while Prates is a member of the wildly …
