Taking place from the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, UFC 323 marks the final PPV of the current era before the UFC’s Paramount Plus era begins with UFC 324 next month.

UFC 323 Preview – Main Card

The main event will be a rematch between the bantamweight champion, Merab Dvalishvili and Petr Yan. Not only is the fight itself intriguing, but it has the added caveat that Dvalishvili is going to attempt to make history as he attempts to become the first champion to defend his belt four times in a calendar year, something that has never been achieved before.

The co-main event has the flyweight title on the line as dominant champion, Alexandre Pantoja will clash with Joshua Van. Pantoja is looking to make his fifth title defence and become one of the youngest champions in the history of the UFC.

The former flyweight king, Brandon Moreno clashes with the exciting finisher, Tatsuro Taira in a fight that could see the next 125lbs title challenger come to light.

Elsewhere, Triple C will be making the final walk of his career and roll the dice one last time as he takes on the up and coming, Payton Talbott. Cejudo is looking to pick up his first win since 2020, whereas Talbott looks to get the biggest win of his career.

Another former champion, Jan Blachowicz, returns to action as he takes on the up and coming finisher, Bogdan Guskov. Blachowicz looks to snap a three fight streak without a run, whereas Guskov looks to get a former champions name on his record.
