UFC 323: Where Rivalry Meets Reckoning
On December 4–6, the world’s most electric stage won’t be in Times Square or Piccadilly. It will be inside the UFC Octagon—where two men who refuse to back up will collide once more.
Merab Dvalishvili vs. Petr Yan.
A bantamweight title fight so fiercely anticipated, it could sell itself—yet it doesn’t have to. Their first encounter was a storm; the rematch promises a hurricane. Dvalishvili, the relentless champion who has spent 2025 turning contenders into footnotes, hunts for his fourth title defense. Yan, sharp as a stiletto and twice as dangerous, returns not just for a belt, but for redemption. And redemption, as any copywriter knows, is the most powerful motivator of all.
How to Watch UFC 323
Because if you miss it, you’ll hear about it from everyone else.
Where to Watch: ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN PPV (for the main event).
If you can stream it, you can see it—ESPN has the keys.
The Co-Main Event:
Champion Alexandre Pantoja faces rising star Joshua Van—a flyweight clash brisk enough to make your pulse race and precise enough to make surgeons jealous.
And the main card?
It reads like a manifesto of mixed martial arts:
A parade of champions, prodigies, and men old enough to know better—but young enough to fight anyway.
In advertising, the consumer is not a moron; she is your wife.
And she would tell you this: UFC 323 is unmissable.

Better to be ringside on your couch than late to the conversation on Monday.
