UFC 263 is just hours away from starting. This is an incredible card from top to bottom, packed with incredibly compelling match-ups all the way. But let’s start at the top. In the main event UFC superstarIsrael Adesanyadefends his Middleweight title against Marvin Vettori. We’ve also got a rematch of one of 2020’s best fights in Dieveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno. That’s for the UFC Flyweight title. Nate Diazis fighting Leon Edwards in a fight where the odds are stacked against him....

Nick Diaz hasn’t fought in six years but, tonight, he makes his return to the Octagon. There are other major fights on UFC 266. Nick Diaz hasn’t competed since fighting Anderson Silva at UFC 183 in 2015. But Nick Diaz was historically the more famous of the two. His comeback is huge news. And the matchmaking for his return issublime. At UFC 266, Nick Diaz is fighting fellow legend Robbie Lawler....

UFC 267 is an event that’s flying under the radar. That’s partly because it lacks star power in the main event. There’s noConor McGregororJorge Masvidalanchoring this PPV, but what UFC 267doeshave is consistency. Two great strikers with phenomenal chins facing off against one another – absolutely can’t wait. But almost every fight here is worth your while. Here’s everything you gotta know. UFC 267 Start time Be careful with this one!...

UFC 268kicks off today and could be a classic event in the making. Last time these two wrestlers fought they beat the ever loving hell out of one another on the feet. Will they do the same in the rematch? I don’t see that happening this time. This will most likely be a striking clinic between two of the best strikers in the UFC. Absolutely cannot wait for this. Perhaps the most exciting fight on the card is a contest between Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler....

UFC 270 takes place today and it’s a huge one. This will be the third contest between the two. The previous two were both barn burners, so expect greatness. It really could go either way. My personal prediction: I see Gane getting knocked out. In their first fight, Stipe Miocic was able to control and tire Ngannou out by wrestling him. That’s not part of Gane’s skillset. That said, Gane did outclass probably the second biggest puncher in the division inDerrick Lewis....

UFC 271 and the long awaitedrematchbetween Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker is just hours away now. These kind of fights don’t come along too often. Adesanya is the current UFC middleweight champ and one of the UFC’s few genuine stars. Whittaker is the clear number one contender and one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet. He’s also the former middleweight champ himself.Both are head and shoulders above the rest of the division....

Colby Covingtonvs.Jorge Masvidalis here! It’s not a title fight, but the fightisheadlining a UFC PPV. Not many fighters can pull off a non-title PPV main event. Masvidal has done it before,against Nate Diaz at UFC 244. The marketing material has tagged it as “former friends, bitter rivals.” Masvidal and Covington were once training partners and at one point lived together in Miami, Florida. The UFC does a decent job of explaining the whole situation above, if you’re interested....

UFC 273 takes place today. It’s a mega card featuring two title fights and a stacked undercard filled with future UFC stars. In the co-main is the long awaited rematch between Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan. Their last fight ended in controversy after Yan was disqualified for landing a huge illegal knee. This one has a lot of spice on it. But UFC 273 is quality from top to bottom....

But the quality of the cards has been second to none. UFC 274 is no exception. Gaethje always drags great fighters into career shortening brawls. I have no idea how this one plays out. UFC strawweight queen Rose Namajunas also returns, defending her title against a tricky challenger in Carla Esparza. Esparza actually defeated Namajunas years ago in an Ultimate Fighter finale years ago. Since then Namajunas has evolved into one of the most well-rounded female fighters of all time....

Just a fantastic set of matchups from top to bottom. At the top of the card, middleweight king Israel Adesanya faces off against Jared Cannonier. It’s a fight that Adesanya is expected to win – with good reason. Cannonier is getting this title fight because Adesanya has cleaned out the middleweight division and is running laps. Still, this is MMA, and with small, four-ounce gloves, anything is possible. This goes double with Cannonier, who has legitimate power in his hands....

Many believe Edwards represents the biggest welterweight threat to Usman at this time. Edwards is about as well-rounded a fighter as there is on the UFC roster. I’m interested to see how this one plays out. I’m expecting a close fight. The UFC 278 main card is a strong one. We’ve got the return of former middleweight champ Luke Rockhold, who’s fighting meme king Paulo Costa. I’m especially looking forward to Jose Aldo against Merab Dvalishvili....

We’re so close to UFC 279. It’s been a weird one. Where do we even start? Let’s start with Nate Diaz vs. Khamzat Chimaev. That was the fight that wassupposedto headline UFC 279. But Chimaev missed weight massively, coming in 7.5 pounds over the 171 limit. To save the card, the UFC had to rearrange the entire main card. And one that, bizarrely, makes a lot more sense. Instead of being outmatched by Chimaev, Nate Diaz is now facing off against fellow UFC legend Tony Ferguson....

UFC 281 is here, the last trulymegaUFC card of 2022. This is not a PPV you’re able to afford to miss. At the top of the card is Israel Adesanya. One of the UFC’s biggest stars, he defends his UFC middleweight title against a surging Alex Pereira. This time round, the normally unbeatable Adesanya could have a minor chink in his armor. Adesanya, currently unbeaten at middleweight, has been defeated not once, buttwiceby Pereira in kickboxing matchups....
