UFC schedule: Every fight announced for 2026

Here’s a look at every fight and event that the MMA promotion has scheduled in the rest of 2025

Another year of UFC action is under way, with several title fights and fan-friendly match-ups already in the books and on the calendar.

The UFC’s year kicked off on 24 January, as Paddy Pimblett fought for gold for the first time, but hopes of a Liverpudlian title win collapsed as he was thoroughly beaten up by Justin Gaethje, who claimed the interim lightweight belt on points. Next for Gaethje is surely a unification fight with superstar Ilia Topuria.

Just seven days after that bout, Alexander Volkanovski fended off Diego Lopes for the second time, outpointing the Brazilian again to retain the featherweight strap and extend his second reign as champ.

And early March will bring a different kind of title bout, as Max Holloway defends the “Baddest Motherf*****” belt against Charles Oliveira, in a long-awaited rematch between two icons of MMA.
