Next on the UFC calendar for 2025 is a title fight!

UFC 316 will feature a duel between Merab Dvalishvili, champion of the bantamweight division, and challenger Sean O’Malley. The venue is the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Dvalishvili has 12 consecutive wins under his belt. The 34-year-old Georgian won the bantamweight crown in September 2024 with his 11th victory against Sean O’Malley. After defending his title in January this year against Umar Nurmagomedov, he now faces a rematch against O’Malley.

Sean O’Malley had seven wins in a row before that streak came to an end in the title fight against Dvalishvili. The 30-year-old American has not been in the cage since.

When is UFC back?

The next UFC fight in 2025 will take place on June 14 in Atlanta (USA).

Kamaru Usman and Joaquin Buckley will face each other in the cage at “UFC on ESPN 69.” The two are ranked 5th and 7th in the welterweight rankings.

Usman, former welterweight champion, has lost some of his reputation in recent years. “The Nigerian Nightmare” has lost all of his last three cage fights. Most recently against Khamzat Chimaev in October 2023, when he tried his hand at middleweight.

Now the 38-year-old wants to try his luck again in the welterweight division and build on his former successes after a year and a half away from competition. Usman won a total of 19 fights in a row between 2013 and 2021.

However, Joaquin Buckley has won his last five UFC fights, most recently against Colby Covington in December 2024. For the bookmakers and their UFC bets, the 31-year-old is even the favorite against the former champion.

UFC Baku on June 21

What was supposed to take place at the end of April will now happen in June: the light heavyweight duel between Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree Jr. on June 21 in Baku (Azerbaijan).

Hill is currently number 4 in the UFC light heavyweight division, while Rountree is in 7th place.

However, Hill has lost his last two cage appearances. The 33-year-old from Chicago lost the title fight against Alex Pereira in April 2024 and then lost again to Jiri Prochazka.

Rountree, 35, from California, is also coming into this UFC Fight Night on the back of a defeat. He too was beaten by Alex Pereira in the title fight. That was in October last year. However, he had won five fights in a row before that…

UFC calendar: UFC 317 takes place at the end of June

The next UFC title fight will take place on June 28 at UFC 317, when Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira face off. The two former champions will battle it out for the lightweight crown.

Reigning lightweight champion Islam Makhachev is putting his title on the line as he looks to climb to the top of the welterweight division.

What’s interesting about this upcoming UFC title fight is that Charles Oliveira is currently only number 2 in the lightweight rankings and Ila Topuria is number 3 – but in the featherweight division.

Oliveira was already lightweight champion, winning the gold belt in 2021 – but then had to relinquish it to Makhachev in October 2022. The 35-year-old Brazilian then fought three more times in the cage, resulting in one defeat and two victories (most recently in November 2024 against Michael Chandler).

Ilia Topuria is a former UFC featherweight champion. He has won all 16 of his MMA fights in this weight class, most recently against Max Holloway in October 2024.

Now the 28-year-old Georgian, who was born in Germany (Halle) and lives in Spain, wants to become lightweight champion as well.

When is the next McGregor fight in the UFC?

After Conor McGregor broke his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021, many MMA fans have been wondering for a long time: When is the next Conor McGregor fight?

Conor McGregor’s comeback was supposed to take place at UFC 303 in Las Vegas (USA) on June 29, 2024, against Michael Chandler.

However, the Irishman was unable to compete due to injury. Now, McGregor’s comeback will be delayed indefinitely. The date of the McGregor vs. Chandler comeback fight has not yet been announced.

It will probably not be until 2025, or maybe even 2026…
