UFC schedule 2024: Every fight happening this year

Here’s a look at every fight and event that the MMA promotion has scheduled for 2024

Another year of UFC action is ticking along. Fans anticipate the long-awaited return of Conor McGregor, but MMA’s flagship promotion is producing more stars with each passing year, and many of them already have bouts scheduled for 2024.

While McGregor’s planned fight with Michael Chandler is still up in the air, the year kicked off with Dricus Du Plessis taking the middleweight title from Sean Strickland in a closely-fought bout. At the next pay-per-view, featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski finally lost his belt with a knockout loss to rising star Ilia Topuria, and at UFC 299 in March, bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley retained his bantamweight title in a rematch with Marlon Vera.

Soon, UFC 300 will roll around in April. That historic event will be headlined by light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and his predecessor Jamahal Hill, and it will feature many enthralling match-ups – including a women’s strawweight title fight between Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan, and Justin Gaethje defending the ‘BMF’ title against Max Holloway.
