On social media, the UFC and several of its fighters have sent out Christmas wishes to their fans worldwide, spreading holiday cheer and gratitude.
The promotion departed from ESPN on December 13, after the last fight night. Due to the company’s six-week hiatus, fans are currently going berserk.
The next numbered event headlined by Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett is on January 24, 2026, when the promotion makes its debut on Paramount+.
Before the break, the promotion had announced other numbered cards and fight nights. This year will also be one of the biggest years for the company, as it’s set to host the UFC White House 2026 card on June 14.
