Here is a list of live events from the UFC that are coming soon.

On July 13, the promotion held a UFC Fight Night event at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. The main event featured Rose Namajunas taking on Tracy Cortez on short notice in a women’s flyweight bout. “Thug Rose” controlled the fight in the judges’ eyes to win a unanimous decision.

The UFC’s schedule will continue with notable matchups from its stacked roster. The company has several events confirmed to occur this year, including three pay-per-views announced thus far.

This Saturday, the UFC returns for another fight night event at the Apex Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event will be a women’s strawweight bout between top contenders Amanda Lemos and Virna Jandiroba. Both fighters come into the headliner having won their respective last fights and will be motivated to get a statement win to challenge UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Zhang Weili. Currently, DraftKings has Jandiroba as a slight favorite to emerge victorious.

Elsewhere on the card, Doo Ho Choi makes his return to action to take on Bill Algeo in a featherweight contest. Choi’s last fight was a majority draw against Kyle Nelson at UFC Fight Night: Derrick Lewis vs. Serghei Spivac in February 2023. He’ll try to snap a three-fight losing streak, while Algeo hopes to bounce back from his last defeat. The matchup can be among the best fights on the card based on their fighting styles.
