Let's have a little summary of upcoming PPV events from mid-summer onwards :
- UFC 304 is Manchester, UK, July 27th will be Aspinall vs Whoever as Co-main and Edwards vs Belal as the Main. (effectively just confirmed by Jon Anik today)
- UFC 305 is Perth, Oz, on Sept14th : Dricus vs Adesanya will headline that one. plus a boatload of Oz and Kiwi fighters.
- UFC 306 is Sept 14th at The Sphere in Vegas. Will be a lot of Latino fighters on that card as 15th/16th is Mex Independence Day.
I'd expect Shevchenko vs Grasso III to be on that card as Co-main. &
@Domitian reckons O'Malley vs Merab and I think that's likely as the Main event. Dana will max that event out 100% and ticket prices will be astronomically high.
- UFC 307 is (as yet) unannounced (v possible Oct 5th) but I'd say LIKELY to be Madrid or Barcelona, Spain, Topuria vs Holloway.
- UFC 308 is Oct 26th in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
- UFC 309 will v likely be in New York in November and Jones vs Miocic will headline that one as kinda near-enough confirmed by Dana a few days ago.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that UFC310 will be in Vegas in December and it'll be McGregor vs Nate Diaz III.
McGregor will have had 6 months since his loss to Chandler in late June 2024, so they'll give him Diaz once again in December to close out the year (Diaz gets re-hired on a 1-fight deal 8-figure deal and gets, ahem, asked to keep the fight on the feet please).
