2022 was an incredible year for the UFC.
The company produced 42 events and a total of 511 fights between January 15 and December 17. During that time, fans were treated to a long list of stunning finishes, shocking twists, and unforgettable moments, as fresh contenders emerged, new champions were crowned and fading legends like José Aldo, Frankie Edgar, Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone all bid farewell to the sport.
The year had its low points, too, but as we near its conclusion, it stands out as one of the most dramatic in the company's history—particularly when weighed against the past few years of the pandemic.
