Check out all the fights announced over the past week in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.

Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.

The UFC delivered another unreal pay-per-view showing with UFC 268 this past Saturday. With most of the focus on said event, the promotion kept everything else simple and either announced or finalized just six fights this week.

Among those is a flyweight fight between Casey O’Neill and Roxanne Modafferi, who revealed that this would be the final fight of her career. Modafferi has lost three of her last four fights, with her most recent loss coming against Taila Santos at UFC 266. O’Neill has stayed perfect as a professional and finished all three of her opponents since joining the UFC roster earlier this year. O’Neill vs. Modafferi takes place at UFC 271 currently scheduled for Feb. 12 at a soon-to-be determined location and venue.

Bellator added several new fights to Bellator 272 in December. Undefeated featherweight contender Jay Jay Wilson has moved up a division and will meet Alfie Davis at lightweight.
