The UFC has been busy finalizing matchups for the upcoming fall schedule, with several exciting bouts announced across multiple October dates. Fight fans can look forward to a packed schedule featuring a mix of established veterans and rising contenders.
October 3rd: A Stacked Saturday
The first Saturday in October is set to be a barnburner, headlined by a lightweight clash between former champion Rafael Dos Anjos and the explosive Alexander Hernandez. Dos Anjos, a veteran of countless wars, will look to use his experience against the powerful striking of Hernandez, who holds a professional record of 18-9. Also on this date, the welterweight division will see the hard-hitting Khaos Williams (16-5) face off against the dangerous Roberto Soldic. King Green, with a professional record of 36-17-1, will also be in action against Esteban Ribovics. The flyweight division gets a boost with Natalia Silva set to take on Wang Cong. Rounding out the early October action, Marcus McGhee will face Bernardo Sopaj. The night of September 12th will see Drakkar Klose (16-3-1) step into the Octagon against Tommy Gantt, and Sean King III face Jessie Rosas (8-1).
Heavyweight Showdown on October 24th
The heavyweight division will take center stage on October 24th, as the veteran Alexander Volkov (40-11) is slated to meet the powerful Rizvan Kuniev (14-3-1). Volkov, a former Bellator Heavyweight Champion, brings a wealth of experience and knockout power to the cage, while Kuniev has established himself as a dangerous finisher. This bout promises fireworks between two of the division's heavy hitters.
Late October Additions
As October draws to a close, the women's bantamweight division will feature a bout between Lucia Szabova and Tainara Lisboa on October 31st. Additionally, the month of October will kick off with a lightweight bout between Javad Mahjoub and Louie Sutherland on October 17th.
