The UFC’s relentless schedule shows no signs of slowing down, and with each event, the landscape of mixed martial arts continues to evolve. From highlight-reel knockouts to razor-thin decisions, 2025 has already delivered some unforgettable moments — and we're only three-quarters of the way through the year.
Champion Reigns and Shake-Ups
In the lightweight division, reigning champion Islam Makhachev remains dominant, most recently defending his title in a high-stakes bout against surging contender Mateusz Gamrot. While Makhachev's grappling-heavy approach continues to smother opponents, fans are beginning to call for a stylistic clash with knockout artist Arman Tsarukyan, who has strung together a series of explosive victories.
Female Divisions Heating Up
The women’s strawweight division has also seen a resurgence. After dethroning Zhang Weili in a stunning upset, new champion Tatiana Suarez looks poised for a long reign — if she can stay healthy. Meanwhile, former champs like Rose Namajunas and Jessica Andrade are battling their way back into title contention.
