UFC 323 has announced numerous bouts, including the headliner and the co-main event.
This came very recently from Dana White who made the announcements on Instagram for the last numbered UFC event of the year.
The main event sees the Bantamweight Champion, Merab Dvalishvili, take on the #2 contender, Petr Yan.
Both men faced each other before with ‘The Machine’ winning by a dominant unanimous decision.
The Georgian will defend his 135-pound belt for a fourth time in a calendar which will be the first time a UFC Champion has ever done so.
Yan has made an incredible comeback in his career, equalling his previous three-fight losing streak to his first title fight since April 2022.
The co-main event is an anticipating Flyweight title bout as Alexandre Pantoja makes his fifth defence against Joshua Van.
Van will be fighting for a fourth time this year after earning the title shot in his last battle against Brandon Royval at UFC 317.
Other fights that have been announced include Jan Blachowicz against Bogdan Guskov in an interesting Light Heavyweight matchup.
Plus, former simultaneous two-division champion, Henry Cejudo, defends his #10 ranking in the Bantamweight division against heavily-viewed prospect, Payton Talbott.
