UFC 2022 Schedule: Is Everyone Ready to Watch Every Major Fight?
UFC prepares for a busy 2022 event schedule following a year of pay-per-views and fight nights. There are championships on the line, revenge schemes are plotted, and chances are plenty for fresh faces to become the next big thing.
As the year gets underway, two of the promotion’s champions have stood tall as heavyweight king Francis Ngannou turned away interim champion Ciryl Gane in January, and middleweight champion Israel Adesanya did the same to Robert Whittaker.
In November, Islam Makhachev reminded once again why he could be the next lightweight title challenger by dismantling late replacement Bobby Green.
To start off March, Colby Covington beat his former teammate Jorge Masvidal in five rounds by dominating him. Covington is now vying for a fight with Dustin Poirier, a former lightweight title challenger.
London hosted a massive promotion with nearly every fight giving fans a thrill. Now they return to the States with a show in Columbus, Ohio. Curtis Blaydes takes on Chris Daukaus in the main event. Most recently, Blaydes beat Jairzinho Rozenstruik in September. Daukaus lost by TKO to Derrick Lewis, ending a five-fight winning streak.
