UFC Schedule for July 2022
UFC fans are in for an action-packed July which will feature not one but two stacked PPV events as the promotion hosts another International Fight Week.
July started off with UFC 276, which took place on July 2nd. The card featured two title fights as both Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya defended their belts against Max Holloway and Jared Cannonier, respectively. Also on the card, Sean Strickland succumbed to a brutal knockout loss against Alex Pereira, who will now be next in line for a title shot against his former rival Israel Adesanya. As we now move past UFC 276, we take a closer look at the events that are there in store for the rest of July and the fights that fans can not miss.
UFC Fight Night- Rafael dos Anjos vs Rafael Fiziev; 9th July 2022.
The fight between dos Anjos and Fiziev is an extremely important fight in the lightweight division. ‘Ataman’ is currently ranked 10th in the division and is facing dos Anjos, who is not only a former champion but is currently ranked 7th in one of the most talent-stacked divisions in the UFC.
UFC Fight Night- Yair Rodriguez vs Brian Ortega- 16th July 2022.
Number two ranked featherweight Brian Ortega takes on number three ranked Yair Rodriguez in a fight that will have massive implications on the title picture at 145-pounds. Rodriguez lost his last fight to Max Holloway and Ortega came up short in his title challenge against the champion Alexander Volkanovski.
UFC Fight Night- Tom Aspinall vs Curtis Blaydes- 24th July 2022
The UFC returns to London for the second time this year as number 4 ranked heavyweight Curtis Blaydes takes on number 6th ranked up-and-coming heavyweight Tom Aspinall. A win will most likely put Aspinall within reach of a title shot. The card also features the likes of Paddy Pimblett and Darren Till.
UFC 277- Julianna Pena vs Amanda Nunes
The final event of July will be a rematch between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena for the bantamweight belt. The card will also feature an interim bout between Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France for the flyweight title.
