There are all kinds of different ways to look at the UFC schedule over the course of a year — be it pay-per-views and fight nights, monthly increments, or broken down by quarters.
As a book and movie nerd, my brain has fixed on this year inside the Octagon featuring a classic three-act structure, which means this month is the beginning of Act II.
Act I is often referred to as “The Setup” and in the scheme of this year inside the UFC cage, I would say that the opening four months of 2025 set up a number of intriguing storylines, fascinating matchups, and gave us more than a few inciting incidents.
