2025 UFC event schedule: Merab Dvalishvili vs. Petr Yan 2, Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape on tap

Check out a complete list of UFC pay-per-view and Fight Night events scheduled for 2025

UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is on the cusp of history. If Dvalishvili beats Petr Yan, for a second time, at UFC 323, he'll be the first UFC champion to make four successful title defenses in one year.

Dvalishvili makes a quick turnaround on Dec. 6 after beating Cory Sandhagen in October. Eager to stay active, Dvalishili draws former champion Yan. Their last fight capped Yan's three-fight losing streak, after which he returned to form with three wins, bringing him back to title contention. Yan is a significant underdog in the rematch; however, he believes an injured right hand in their first fight significantly impacted the result. 

The co-main event has more gold. UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja furthers his case as the second-best flyweight champion ever against a red-hot contender. Joshua Van, like Dvalishvili, is no stranger to activity. UFC 323 marks his fourth fight in nine months, and eighth since 2024. 

UFC will present its final card of the year the following week. Brandon Royval, looking to bounce back from a Fight of the Night loss to Van, takes on surging contender Manel Kape. These two were scheduled to fight twice this year, with each fighter pulling out on one occasion. The flyweight main event marks UFC's final event before moving to Paramount+ in the new year.
