The UFC is back at the Apex with another mid to low-tier card for fans to sink their teeth into (or ignore). There are some good fights to consider, but rather than feature them on the main card, the matchmakers have decided to spread them out, forcing watchers to either watch the subpar matches to get to the good ones, or to plan out their evening arou…

The UFC is back in Vegas this weekend at the T-Mobile Arena for UFC 326. The card, headlined by Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, will once again highlight the dumbest belt in MMA, the BMF. Yet another title in the lightweight division which is already standing room only with the undisputed title and the interim title. Dana White once famously said “We…

The UFC is once again on the road this weekend, with Mexico as the destination. However, this card is a sad reminder of what the UFC has become, a content mill. Never mind that the stats are abysmal, just look at the matchmaking. Giving Lone-er Kavanagh a step up in competition of this magnitude while coming off such a devastating loss is complete madne…

The UFC is on the road this weekend, with Houston, TX as the destination. However, this card reads more like an Apex event than a premium fight night. There are three ranked fights, but not all ranked fights measure out equally. The main card is where the better quality bouts are, but we’ve seen better. Strickland vs. Hernandez is the most intriguing an…

The UFC has created magic at the Meta-Apex—a real feat for those that have been down on fight cards that take place there. This event looks more like an on-the-road event than a Pandemic House show. The main card is where the largest concentration of talent lies, as expected. And let’s not overlook the best part of it, the return of the Gooch to action.…

The UFC is giving us back-to-back numbered events to kick off their second event of the year and under the Paramount umbrella. It’s a solid affair with some fights built for action (Hello Rafael Fiziev vs. Mauricio Ruffy!) and the latest ROAD To UFC finale. We’ve got lots of fresh faces to see, and plenty of veterans for those that don’t care for new ta…

The UFC is finally back for their first card of 2026 and the first card of their Paramount+ broadcast deal. It’s a good show, worth investing the time to watch it, with a main event that pits the aging slugger against the more youthful grappler. All the fights on the main portion are solid and should appeal to a wide range of fans—even without the Nunes-Harrison title bout. Now, let’s take a look at all the fights from the main card and the rest of the alternative stats.

The UFC is taking their final card of the year back to the Apex for one last hurrah in 2025. It’s not their best offering, but it’s not their worst, either. We have some interesting bouts, decent alternative stats and a main event that could see a new title challenger emerge for the flyweight division. I’d say that’s nothing to cry about, and considerin…
