The UFC’s first international event of 2026 continues to take shape, with multiple high-profile lightweight matchups added to UFC 325, scheduled for January 31 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney and streaming globally on Paramount+.
During Saturday’s UFC 323 broadcast, officials confirmed two major additions: Dan Hooker vs. Benoit Saint Denis in the co-main event and a featured lightweight bout between Rafael Fiziev and Mauricio Ruffy.
