Key dates

November 14 at Madison Square Garden is the biggest night of the fall for American fans. Kayla Harrison defends the women’s bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes, and No. 4 Josh Hokit challenges Ciryl Gane for the heavyweight belt in the main event. Gane won the interim title on June 14 by stopping Alex Pereira, then was elevated to undisputed champion on September 14 when Tom Aspinall vacated for medical reasons.

UFC 335 on December 12 in Las Vegas will be headlined by Charles Oliveira vs. Diego Lopes for the BMF title, with Alex Pereira vs. Sergei Pavlovich as the co-main event, as the UFC announced on October 3 (our story). The long-discussed middleweight title fight between Sean Strickland and Nassourdine Imavov is not part of that announcement. Before that, Sean Brady withdrew from his November 7 main event against Gabriel Bonfim (our story), and Johnny Walker stepped in to headline against Waldo Cortes Acosta, stopping him in the third round (results). On October 17 in Edmonton, Mike Malott knocked out Joaquin Buckley in the second round, a week after Brendan Allen submitted Christian Leroy Duncan.

At UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on October 24, Alexander Volkanovski stopped Movsar Evloev in the second round and Petr Yan outpointed Merab Dvalishvili, both keeping their titles (full results). On October 31 at the Meta APEX, Tom Nolan stopped Renato Moicano in the third round. Next up is UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden on November 14, with the main card at 9 p.m. ET. The first 2027 dates are also set: a Fight Night in Dallas on January 16, UFC 336 in Toronto on January 30 with Joshua Van vs. Manel Kape, and a Sydney card on February 6 headlined by Quillan Salkilld vs. Benoît Saint-Denis.
