The UFC schedule still has quite a few events left on it between now and the fall. It includes everything from UFC 303: Pereira vs. Procházka 2 on June 29 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov on August 3 from the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. But you shouldn’t let that stop you from looking ahead to see what the UFC has in store toward the end of 2024.
Many popular online betting sites offering bets for the UFC have started to set their sights on UFC’s Fall 2024 schedule. You can begin penciling in who you think will win their fights at these UFC events by ensuring they’re each on your radar.
The UFC’s fall 2024 slate should get off to a strong start with UFC 306 on September 14 at The Sphere in Las Vegas. It’ll be the first UFC event held at The Sphere, which opened in September 2023 to much fanfare, both in Las Vegas and in other parts of the country and world.
The UFC hasn’t announced who will fight at UFC 306 just yet. But it’s worth noting that Mexican Independence Day falls on the same day, so look for Dana White & Co. to pull out all the stops when the UFC takes center stage at The Sphere.
The UFC isn’t going to stop there, either. Just two weeks after UFC 306 takes place, the UFC will head to France for UFC Fight Night: Paris. The event will go down at the Accor Arena in Paris, which has played host to UFC events in the past. The UFC hasn’t revealed which fighters will go toe-to-toe at this UFC Fight Night event, but it should be another instance in which White and the UFC put together a great collection of fights based on where it’s happening.
Last but certainly not least this fall will be UFC 308, which will see the UFC come back to the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates just months after UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov in August. It’ll be held on October 26 with the event’s slate of fights still yet to be announced.
Could one of these events be the one that hosts Conor McGregor’s much-anticipated return to the Octagon? Maybe, as “The Notorious” was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29 before having to bow out with a toe injury at the last minute. He could conceivably make his return in August, September, or October now, depending on how his toe heals and what UFC wants to do with him following the UFC 303 fiasco.
But even if McGregor doesn’t fight at all in the fall, there are obviously enough upcoming UFC fights to keep MMA fans entertained. It would appear as though the UFC is prepared to finish off 2024 strong based on the UFC schedule for the remainder of the year.
