📣 UFC 323 Announced, UFC Fight Night: De Ridder vs Allen this weekend in Vancouver
The UFC heads to Canada next, with UFC Fight Night: De Ridder vs. Allen taking place this Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Originally slated to face Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez, Reinier de Ridder now takes on Brendan Allen after Hernandez withdrew due to injury. De Ridder (#4) enters the fight with a 21-2 record and a 4-0 run in the UFC since his 2024 debut, and is widely viewed as the betting favorite. Allen (#9) steps in on relatively short notice but is eager to make a statement in the biggest fight of his career. With both fighters being elite grapplers, and each having won more than half of their fights by submission (13 for de Ridder, 14 for Allen), this promises to be a technical chess match. Tickets are still available starting at $76.
Looking ahead, the UFC dropped a major announcement this week with its year end pay-per-view, UFC 323, set for December 6th, 2025 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The card is already stacked with two title fights: Merab Dvalishvili (C) vs Petr Yan (#2) and Alexandre Pantoja (C) vs Joshua Van (#1). See below for more details.
