With just a trio of UFC flagship events remaining in the final months of 2022, the promotion will, however, field six further ‘Fight Night’ billed showcases, with five taking place at the UFC Apex facility in its Las Vegas, Nevada staple – while a December trip to Orlando, Florida is also on the cards.

Below, catch the run down from the final 6 ‘Fight Night’ cards of 2022.

UFC Vegas 62 – Grasso vs. Araújo 

Set to take main event honors next weekend following this week’s period of no fights, a flyweight matchup between the #5 ranked contender, Alexa Grasso, and the #6 rated, Viviane Araújo. 

Grasso has so far enjoyed an undefeated three-fight streak since her 2020 move to flyweight, while Araujo, a former Pancrase titleholder has struggled to find continued form in the Octagon, most recently defeating Andrea Lee.

An intriguing flyweight fight between division contenders, Askar Askarov, and Brandon Royval is also on deck for the ‘Sin City’ card – while veteran Cub Swanson makes a bantamweight move against Johnathan Martinez.

UFC Vegas 63 – Kattar vs. Allen

Another high-profile, potential title-eliminator at the featherweight limit is booked for the promotion’s October 29. ‘Fight Night’ event – as division strikers, Calvin Kattar, and Arnold Allen share the Octagon.

Set for his third outing of the year, Kattar is attempting to rebound from a loss to Josh Emmett, while the surging Ipswitch native, Allen has enjoyed a promotional perfect run, most recently stopping Dan Hooker with strikes in London. UFC betting UK offers the opportunity to flutter on an impressive and anticipated battle between slick punchers, Kattar, and Allen. 

UFC Vegas 64 – Mitchell vs. Evloev

A grappler’s delight is slated currently for November 5. at the UFC Apex facility – as undefeated featherweight forces, Bryce Mitchell and Movsar Evloev land in the Octagon.

Out of action since a career-best unanimous decision win over Brazilian kicking veteran, Edson Barboza, Mitchell currently boasts an unbeaten 15-0 record, while Evloev is fresh from a judging win over Dan Ige in June – moving him to 16-0. A strawweight fight between Marina Rodriguez, and Amanda Lemos is also slated for the UFC Apex card.

UFC Vegas 65 – Lewis vs. Spivak

Heavyweight division contenders, Derrick Lewis, and Sergey Spivak are set to headline UFC Vegas 65 on November 19. – as the fan-favorite promotional standout knockout artist looks to prevent a third consecutive loss against the impressive, Spivak.

UFC Orlando – Thompson vs. Holland

After a brief two-week retirement, fan-favorite striker, Kevin Holland has booked himself his third Octagon main event in the form of a UFC Fight Night Orlando clash against two-time title challenger, Stephen Thompson.

UFC Vegas 66 – Cannonier vs. Strickland

A middleweight rescheduling – initially scheduled for next weekend in ‘Sin City’ between one-time title challenger, Jared Cannonier, and Sean Strickland will take placeholder as the final fight of the year on December 17.

Firstly, a matchup between the surging Chicago wrestling staple, Bella Muhammad, and the promotional-perfect Roufusport mainstay, Sean Brady has been added to a UFC 281 pay-per-view event on October 22. from the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE. ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto was first to report the news of Muhammad’s return against Brady in October. 

The UFC books a high-stakes strawweight headliner to main event an October 1. event

As for the beginning of the month, a high-stakes, potential strawweight title-eliminator between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Mackenzie Dern, and the Liaoning native, Yan Xiaonan is scheduled to headline a UFC Fight Night event on October 1. to kick off the month’s proceedings for the organization.

Confirming the headlining clash on their official Twitter account, Paradigm Sports Management confirmed Dern’s return against Xiaonan on October 1.

“It’s official. Mackenzie Dern and Yan Xiaonan will meet in a strawweight main event on October 1.” 

Enjoying an impressive three-fight winning run, Muhammad headlined UFC Vegas 51 back in April, earning the #5 rank in the official welterweight pile with a rematch, unanimous decision win over Vicente Luque.

In a pair of prior victories against former title challengers prior to avenging his win against Luque, Muhammad handed one-sided unanimous decision losses to both Stephen Thompson, and Demian Maia. 

As for Brady, the #9 ranked Philadelphia native boasts a 15-0 professional record, most recently besting Michael Chiesa with a unanimous decision triumph at UFC Vegas 43 last time out.

Calling for an interim title fight recently at the strawweight limit, Dern returned to winning ways after a loss to Marina Rodriguez, defeating division staple, Tecia Torres with a split judging success at UFC 273 back in April. 

For Xioanan, the Chinese contender is tasked with rebounding from a recent pair of losses to the aforenoted common-foe, Rodriguez, as well as a ground strikes knockout defeat to inaugural strawweight champion and current division titleholder, Carla Esparza.

Cory Sandhagen

Former interim UFC bantamweight title challenger, Cory Sandhagen is set to return from an almost year away from the sport – with reports detailing how the Colorado native is currently targeted to headline a UFC Fight Night event on September 17. against the surging #9 ranked contender, Song Yadong.

Cory Sandhagen looks set to snap an almost year hiatus from the Octagon

As per an initial report from EuroSport reporter, Marcel Dorff, Cory Sandhagen, who co-headlined UFC 267 last October in Abu Dhabi, UAE – is currently targeted to headline a UFC Fight Night event on September 17. against Song Yadong – who has landed victories in each of his last three Octagon outings.

Featuring on ‘Fight Island’ in October, Sandhagen replaced former opponent and current undisputed champion, Aljamain Sterling against Petr Yan – suffering a unanimous decision loss to the Dudinka native over the course of five rounds.

As for Yadong, the Chinese upstart managed to land the most high-profile victory of his UFC tenure so far back in March at UFC Vegas 50 – stopping common-opponent, Marlon Moraes with a blistering first round knockout.

Prior to his loss against Yan, Sandhagen found himself on the wrong end of a close, back-and-forth split decision defeat against former two-time bantamweight best, T.J. Dillashaw in July. 

Seeing his two–fight run of consecutive knockout victories halted, the highly-touted, Cory Sandhagen had stopped the aforenoted, Moraes with a thunderous second round spinning wheel kick in October 2020 on ‘Fight Island’.

Scoring another highlight-reel finish, Sandhagen handed former undisputed lightweight titleholder, Frankie Edgar a 28-second flying knee knockout defeat back in February of last year. Sandhagen also holds a judging win over recently minted ONE Championship bantamweight best, John Lineker. 

8-1-1 from 10 professional walks, Yadong added the now-retired, Moraes to a run of victories over both Julio Arce, and Kyler Philips.

The 24-year-old uber-prospect also managed to land himself a hugely-close, decision win over the surging, Marlon Vera at UFC Fight Night Jacksonville in May 2020.
