There have been some incredible fights in the UFC this year, and there are still plenty more to come.

In 2024, the sport enjoyed one of the biggest years in its history, and it has continued that rise this year with some incredible events.

Alex Pereira rematches Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight title in the UFC’s next pay-per-view[/caption]

At UFC London in March, Leon Edwards suffered the first stoppage loss of his career after Molly McCann announced her retirement following a defeat.

Her close friend, Paddy Pimblett, however, bolstered his world title ambitions with a spectacular performance at UFC 314, and is now eyeing up a shot at gold against lightweight champion Ilia Topuria.

Topuria knocked out Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 in June to become a two-division champion in Dana White‘s promotion, having also held the featherweight title.

Max Holloway asserted he also wants a shot at Topuria’s belt after outpointing Dustin Poirier at UFC 318 to become the first fighter to retain the BMF title.

Meanwhile, the highly anticipated monster clash between heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall never came to fruition, with the former announcing his retirement last month.

Aspinall has since been promoted to undisputed heavyweight champion and makes his first title defence against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 on October 25.

Jones, however, has left the door open for a potential return to the UFC to compete at an event at the White House, although UFC CEO White can’t see him headlining the event.

UFC White House was announced by U.S President Donald Trump in July, with Conor McGregor also revealing his interest in the card.

Here’s the full schedule for all of the upcoming UFC fights…
