The Ultimate Fighting Championship is pulling into the home stretch of 2025—and the era defined by broadcast partner ESPN—with style.
After last week’s blockbuster UFC 322, which was anchored by arguably the top pound-for-pound fighter of each gender, it would have been reasonable to expect a steep drop-off from the industry leader, which often follows its top cards with either a week off or a low-key event at the Apex. However, the UFC is posting up instead in the capital of Qatar for perhaps the most loaded Fight Night card of the year.
