This Saturday marks a historic turning point for the UFC. UFC 323, emanating from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, 6 December, will be the promotion’s final numbered event broadcast as a traditional pay-per-view before its landmark move to Paramount+ in 2026.
The milestone card is headlined by a massive bantamweight title rematch, as champion Merab Dvalishvili defends his belt against the dangerous former titleholder, Petr Yan. In the co-main event, flyweight king Alexandre Pantoja puts his championship on the line against the surging contender Joshua Van.

The Main Event: A Grudge Match for the Ages
All eyes will be on the main event, a rematch over a year in the making. Merab Dvalishvili won the bantamweight title from Yan in a close, tactical battle in 2024. Since then, “The Machine” has successfully defended his belt three times, while Yan has fought his way back to a number-one contender spot with two impressive victories.
“There are no more questions after this fight,” Yan declared at the pre-fight press conference. “I get my belt back.” Dvalishvili, known for his relentless pace and grappling, remained characteristically confident: “I beat him once, I will beat him again. My gas tank is endless.”
With the era of traditional numbered UFC PPVs ending, UFC 323 promises to be a night of high stakes, unforgettable action, and a fitting farewell to a broadcast tradition that has defined the sport for decades.
