UFC 310 lived up to the billing of being the last Pay-Per-View of the year 2024. It was laced with some fantastic matchups and delivered some of the best action fans have seen in the last few months. It will be followed by the return of Colby Covington on December 15 for the UFC on ESPN event. And then that’s it for a month, which is leaving some of the fanbase in a lurch.
wait, there’s no UFC events for ONE MONTH after the card this weekend??? pic.twitter.com/CVOEAMqtHM

The next UFC event is a Fight Night on January 12, 2025, main evented by the ever-loved McKenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas. Until then, it’s going to be a very very sad few weeks.
This fan believes nothing good can come out of this gap in time and said, “Literally the worst time of year“. Some were just happy that it was ending with a Covington fight- “Ending it off with the GOAT“.
This fan, who doesn’t realize that even fighters need to spend the holidays with their families, said, “I will never understand why the UFC does this.. The UFC already moves at such a slow drawn out pace that we give awards to people who fight 3 times in a Year.. There are plenty of individuals on the UFC roster nowadays. IDK why this is how things have to be & we can’t change it“.
Others were less bothered.
This man made a joke at the expense of MMA fans and said, “Mma fans are gonna have to find a life for a month oh no!!” Another fan pointed out the obvious flaw in being sad about no fights on the weekends and added, “Yep those selfish fighters wanna spend time with their family smh”.
Well, it’s not all sad. A little wait hasn’t hurt anyone, especially when 2025 seems to be some mega fights on the cards.
UFC in 2025: A preview
Kayla Harrison might finally get her bantamweight title shot against Julianna Pena, which if she wins, would set her up nicely for the return of one, Amanda Nunes!
And these are just some of the most likely highlight reels to be made from 2025. There is going to be a plethora to choose from when the time comes. So be patient, be nice, offer Santa some cookies, and maybe, Conor McGregor will even make his return next year.
