One final PPV is upon us. UFC is closing out its 2025 calendar quickly and the final PPV event of the ESPN era goes down on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. UFC 323 is headlined by a pair of title fights in the lower weight classes. The main event sees bantamweight kind Merab Dvalishvili look to fend off his latest challenge from a familiar foe in Petr Yan.

There have been more than 100 UFC champions. Not one of them has done what Dvalishvili gets the shot to do. The UFC bantamweight champion has successfully defended his title against Umnar Nurmagomedov, Sean O'Malley and Cory Sandhagen in 2025. Should Dvalishvili overcome Yan, who he previously beat in 2023, "The Machine" will hold a record uniquely his own. Against Yan, Dvalishvili faces a former champion finding his second wind after ripping off three straight wins.

A second title fight supports UFC 323. Alexandre Pantoja is building a strong case for being the second-best flyweight champion in UFC history, behind only Mount Rushmore fighter Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson. His next challenger is compelling. Joshua Van burst onto the scene, going from UFC debutant to title challenger in two years. Like Dvalishvili, he fights for the fourth time this year in pursuit of becoming a UFC champion.

The undercard also features some veterans looking to get back to the title level. Former flyweight king Brandon Moreno is back when he takes on rising contender Tatsuro Taira. Plus, former two-division champ Henry Cejudo is back in what could be his final fight when he takes on top prospect Payton Talbott at bantamweight. And former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz is back to open the PPV festivities when he takes on Bodgan Guskov at 205 pounds.
