We know you’re anticipating the next UFC card like Connor McGregor anticipates a press conference for a chance to trash-talk his opponent.
Or you’re looking forward to the Bellator Champion Series and the PFL’s regular season because there’s no such thing as too much MMA content.
Either way, we have the info for you on when and how you can watch every MMA fight.
Card of the month: UFC 302
Although Dustin Poirier is coming into this highly-anticipated bout with a record of 30–8, and Makhachev is coming in with a 13-fight win streak. To be frank, the odds are saying this is an impossible fight to win for Poirier.
To defeat Makhachev, Poirier is going to have to somehow find the dominant fighter’s weakness—and he already has a plan. Very rarely does Makhachev find himself still in the octagon after the third round, so Poirier is going to use his conditioning to his advantage and attempt to take Makhachev to the fifth round. Can Poirier do it before Makhachev submits him?
Makhachev has successfully defended his belt two times, and that doesn’t include initially taking it away from Charles Oliviera in 2022. So, what’s one more time?
IT’S TIME for UFC’s upcoming fight schedule
After 31 years, UFC has hit a milestone of 300 numbered fights—300 fights that we’ve watched on Saturday nights with friends and family. And the UFC did not disappoint when putting this card together.

Bellator MMA is still kicking
March 22 kicked off the first fight of the new Bellator Champion Series, which will be held worldwide.
You might be as confused as I am that Bellator still has its own fights despite the merger with PFL, but this was all the PFL’s doing. This eight-event series is in venues and areas with growing interest in MMA.
I mean, we’re not complaining. That means more MMA fights to watch. You can watch this series on Max and truTV.

PFL’s regular season is underway
Gear up for adrenaline-pumping action as the Professional Fighters League begins its sixth season. The league will follow a regular season, playoff, and championship format.
You likely already have ESPN+ for UFC fights, so you won’t need more or less to catch every PFL matchup (and you don’t have to pay a PPV fee like you do with a UFC card).
The PFL playoff dates have been announced for August, and we can expect the World Championship to take place in November.
