Three Biggest Fights in 2026 to Look Forward to
2026 is nearing its conclusion and we look ahead to the three biggest fights to watch for the remainder of the year.
2026 is nearing its close, and we look ahead at the three biggest fights to look forward to before the year's end.
The UFC has, yet again, reigned supreme and has consistently put on the best fights and it has three mega fights scheduled before the year's close.
Three Biggest Fights in 2026 to Look Forward to
UFC 334 - Kayla Harisson vs Amanda Nunes
The UFC 334 co-main event is over a year and a half in the making. When Kayla Harrison won the bantamweight belt in June 2025, she immediately faced off with the retired Amanda Nunes, the consensus GWOAT.
The two women were scheduled to face off at UFC 324 to kick off the Paramount + era, however, a potentially career-ending injury to Harrison postponed the bout. The two women will finally meet at UFC 334 in New York City's Madison Square Garden.
This one has plenty of storylines attached to it, with each woman returning after a prolonged period of time out. How will Nunes look after over three years away from the sport? How will Harrison bounce back from her injury? Will the winner be the GWOAT? All questions will be answered at UFC 334.
UFC Qatar - Jiri Prochazka vs. Navajo Stirling
The UFC Qatar main event is a fascinating fight which could see a vital changing of the guard at light heavyweight. Since his UFC debut in 2020, Jiri Prochazka has been a perennial contender at 205lbs and has constantly been in and around the title picture. He's won the belt, vacated it due to injury and then competed for the belt on three further occasions.
Navajo Stirling has burst onto the scene in recent years, securing five wins, including three finishes in his most recent three fights, including a big finish of Jan Blachowicz last time out in the first round. Stirling has a good history in kickboxing and could have the tools to negate Prochazka's strange style.
All questions will be answered in Qatar.
UFC 335 - Sergei Pavlovich vs. Alex Pereira
Although it isn't the main event, all eyes will be on the UFC 335 co-main event as Sergei Pavlovich looks to upset the masses as he faces Alex Pereira in the Brazilian's second heavyweight outing. His first audition in a third weight class didn't go to plan when he was finished by Ciryl Gane on the White House lawn, however, he's not been discouraged and is still determined to make waves in the UFC's biggest division.
Pavlovich isn't to be sniffed at. The hard-hitting Russian is a huge unit, wades forward, and is equally determined to have another shot at gold in an ever-changing division. Enjoying a run of three straight victories, Pavlovich will be looking to upset fans and end Poatan's UFC career in Las Vegas.
