MMASeats Weekly - July 22, 2025
Weekly roundup of upcoming UFC events, new matchups, and ticket trends.
This weekend the UFC returns to Abu Dhabi with Robert Whittaker taking on former ONE Championship double champ Reiner de Ridder. Whittaker, hungry to reestablish himself after a punishing loss to Khamzat Chimaev, faces a surging de Ridder, who has quickly made his mark in the UFC with back-to-back finishes over Kevin Holland, Gerald Meerschaert, and Bo Nickal.
The card is surprisingly strong for a Fight Night, with fights including former bantamweight champion Petr Yan, rising star Shara Magomedov, and a clash between Bryce Mitchell and Said Nurmagomedov. Unfortunately the co-main event between Movsar Evloev and Aaron Pico has been cancelled due to injury. Tickets for this event are still available for under $100 if you’re in the area.
