The UFC has an off week as they aren’t hosting an event this Saturday, but the schedule for the rest of 2025 is stacked with elite Fight Nights and PPVs.
On September 27, the UFC returns with a Fight Night taking place in Perth, Western Australia. This event is headlined by a phenomenal Light Heavyweight bout between No. 3 Carlos Ulberg vs. No. 7 Dominick Reyes. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Ulberg is a -138 favorite while Reyes is a +195 underdog. Reyes, the former title challenger, is on a three-fight knockout streak. Ulberg has a perfect 8-0 record in the UFC.
The UFC’s next PPV is UFC 320 on October 4, and it features two title fights: Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira for the Light Heavyweight Championship, and Merab Dvalishvili battles Cory Sandhagen for the 135-pound title. Ankalaev is a -230 favorite while the former champion is a +190 underdog. Dvalishvili is a massive -410 favorite with Sandhagen being +320.
Just three weeks later, the new Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, Tom Aspinall, defends his title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Aspinall is a -320 favorite as the challenger is a +285 underdog. Gane has won two straight fights, while Aspinall is 8-1 with eight finishes in the UFC.
The UFC’s annual trip to Madison Square Garden is occurring on November 15 and also has two title bouts at the top of the card. Jack Della Maddalena is defending his Welterweight Championship against former 155-pound king, Islam Makhachev, in the Main Event of UFC 322. Makhachev, who has never competed at 170 pounds, is a -258 favorite with the champion being a +210 underdog. Della Maddalena has won 18 straight fights and recently beat Belal Muhammad for the title at UFC 315. Makhachev is coming off a title defense against Renato Moicano at UFC 311.
Valentina Shevchenko is a -115 favorite against Zhang Weili as Weili is a -105 underdog. This matchup is the co-main of UFC 322 and is for the UFC Women’s Flyweight Championship. Shevchenko is in the midst of her second title reign, while former Champion Weili is attempting to become a two-division champion.
There isn’t a UFC event this week, so I detailed the upcoming schedule for the UFC throughout the rest of 2025.
