UFC’s Final 2025 Title Fights: 6 Must-Watch Showdowns Ahead

UPDATE: The UFC is set to deliver an action-packed finale to 2025, with six championship titles on the line in the closing months. Fans can look forward to exhilarating matchups, starting with UFC 321 on Saturday, November 11, 2025, at 2 p.m. ET in Abu Dhabi, where Tom Aspinall defends his undisputed heavyweight championship against Ciryl Gane.

In a highly anticipated co-main event, the vacant strawweight title will be contested between Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern, following Zhang Weili‘s move up to the flyweight division earlier this year. This fight is crucial for both fighters as they vie to establish their place in a division lacking a clear identity.

The excitement continues as UFC 322 takes center stage on November 15 at Madison Square Garden. Former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev seeks redemption when he challenges newly crowned welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena. The co-main event features Zhang Weili attempting to claim the women’s flyweight title from Valentina Shevchenko, setting the stage for a showdown that promises to captivate fans worldwide.

The year will conclude with UFC 323 in Las Vegas, showcasing men’s bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili aiming for a historic fourth title defense against Petr Yan. This rematch comes after their explosive first encounter, where Dvalishvili’s record-breaking 49 takedown attempts solidified his status as a titleholder.

As anticipation builds for these fights, the stakes could not be higher. Each matchup carries potential implications for the fighters’ legacies and the future of their respective divisions.

Men’s Flyweight: The clash between Alexandre Pantoja and rising star Joshua Van at UFC 323 is set to be a thrilling encounter, as Van aims to dethrone Pantoja, a champion whose dominance has placed him in elite company within the UFC.

Women’s Flyweight: The co-main event at UFC 322 featuring Valentina Shevchenko and Zhang Weili is the most highly anticipated fight of the year. Shevchenko’s technical prowess and Zhang’s raw power set the stage for a battle that could redefine women’s MMA.
