UFC 311 Scheduled for January 18, 2025

UFC 311 is set to take place on January 18, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, featuring two championship fights. The main event will see lightweight champion Islam Makhachev defend his title against top contender Arman Tsarukyan, marking their second encounter following Makhachev's previous victory in 2019. In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili will put his title on the line against undefeated challenger Umar Nurmagomedov. Dvalishvili, who recently won the title from Sean O'Malley, is on a remarkable ten-fight win streak, while Nurmagomedov is looking to extend his undefeated record. Both bouts are generating significant excitement as they kick off the UFC's 2025 pay-per-view schedule.
