An eager band of MMA enthusiasts are keen to go and watch massive UFC Fight Nights events live. With UFC event tickets in high demand, let us at GOAL take you through the upcoming UFC Fight Night schedule and show you how you can get your hands on tickets.
The mixed martial arts spotlight or focus may tend to fall on the ‘numbered’ UFC promotions that take place regularly across the globe throughout the year. Still, many of the ‘fight night’ events that intersperse those pay-per-view cards also throw up intriguing and exhilarating cage contests.
We’ve witnessed some highly memorable UFC Fight Night events already. It all kicked off in January with a rematch between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas. Ribas had won their original clash, but Dern would deliver a devastating armbar submission when the pair locked horns for a second time to gain revenge. That opening UFC Fight Night card of 2025 took place at the MMA mecca that is the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, which is a regular home for ‘Fight Night’ events.

The UFC Apex is a live events and production centre in Enterprise, Nevada. The venue hosts events held by the UFC and WWE, as well as events of the Dana White-owned Power Slap league. The facility's location was chosen in part due to its proximity to the UFC Performance Institute, which serves as the UFC's headquarters and is located across the street. The Apex was built to host live events as well as studio shows.
Away from the Apex, Nassourdine Imavov punched his way to glory against former two-time UFC middleweight champ, Israel Adesanya, when they fought at a UFC Fight Night event in February in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There would be further memorable 'Fight Night' thrills a month later, when Sean Brady jetted across the Atlantic and beat the former UFC welterweight champion, Leon Edwards, at the O2 Arena in London.
If you were unable to get tickets to any of those huge UFC nights, don’t fret, there are plenty more jaw-dropping ‘Fight Nights’ to come this year. Let GOAL give you all the vital information you need on how to buy UFC Fight Night tickets, including how much they cost and where you can get your hands on them.
