In 2025, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) produced 42 events, creating a blitz of memorable finishes and overshadowed spectacles. Alongside this high-octane schedule, other promotions like PFL, Dirty Boxing, and BKFC kept combat sports fans on their toes, culminating in a year marked by remarkable matches and potential retirements.

Max Holloway’s remarkable act of donating his UFC 318 gloves to Dustin Poirier’s charity highlights the spirit of philanthropy in mixed martial arts. This gesture, featured in a “Midnight Mania!” segment, underscores how small choices can make a big impact.
