UFC Schedule 2025: Dana White on Intuit Dome
The UFC has never visited the Intuit Dome. UFC CEO Dana White addressed this during the UFC 309 post-fight press conference:
"It's new," White said. "I like new arenas, new technology, and this place is supposed to be amazing, so I'm looking forward to checking it out. I can't wait."
UFC 311 features two title fights on its main card, including the main event between Makhachev and Tsarukyan, as well as UFC bantamweight champ Merab Dvalishvili defending his belt against the top-ranked Umar Nurmagomedov.
UFC Schedule 2025: UFC Apex
Of the 11 events announced for 2025, four UFC Fight Nights will be held at the Apex in Las Vegas.
In 2024, six of the first 11 events took place at the UFC Apex. It appears that the UFC is sticking to its promise of holding fewer events in 2025 at the Apex in Las Vegas.
The upcoming pay-per-view event, UFC 312, is scheduled for Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, which is part of the 11 fight cards lined up by the UFC for the first three months of 2025. If you're a UFC fan who missed UFC 311, don't worry as there's another pay-per-view event, UFC 313, scheduled to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This isn't the only UFC Apex event in 2025, as there are three more UFC Fight Night events scheduled to be held at this venue, following a similar pattern as 2024.
