Get ready for a night of adrenaline-pumping action because the UFC 323 lineup is officially locked in, and it’s a fight card that promises to shake the foundations of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on December 6, 2025. But here’s where it gets controversial: Merab Dvalishvili and Petr Yan are set to collide in a bantamweight championship rematch, and fans are already divided over who will emerge victorious after their first explosive encounter. Dvalishvili, nicknamed ‘The Machine,’ has been unstoppable, racking up 14 consecutive UFC wins, including a dominant victory over Yan in 2023. But Yan, the former champ, isn’t one to back down—he’s on a three-fight winning streak and hungry for redemption. Is Dvalishvili’s reign unshakable, or will Yan reclaim his throne? Let’s debate in the comments!
And this is the part most people miss: the co-main event features Alexandre Pantoja defending his flyweight title against Joshua Van, a rising star who’s won five straight fights in the Octagon. Pantoja, known as ‘The Cannibal,’ has been on an eight-fight tear, but Van’s relentless style could pose a threat. Will Pantoja’s experience prevail, or is Van the future of the division?
The card doesn’t stop there. Jalin Turner is making a surprising return from retirement to face Edson Barboza in a lightweight showdown, adding another layer of intrigue to the night. With 14 bouts in total, UFC 323 is shaping up to be a historic event, blending seasoned veterans with hungry contenders. Who are you rooting for, and which fight do you think will steal the show? Let’s hear your predictions!
