UFC president Dana White revealed the promotion's schedule through mid-June 2026 on Thursday, announcing several new main and co-main events. Key highlights include Khamzat Chimaev defending his middleweight title against Sean Strickland headlining UFC 328 on May 9 in Newark, and Jiri Prochazka vs. Carlos Ulberg for the vacant light heavyweight title on April 11 in Miami. Other bouts: Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott (April 18, Winnipeg), Aljamain Sterling vs. Youssef Zalal (April 25, Las Vegas), and Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje lightweight title fight on June 14 in Washington D.C. This locks in the calendar to the White House card, providing clarity for fans and fighters amid a busy spring. Expect potential card changes due to injuries, but it shapes divisional paths like middleweight and light heavyweight hierarchies.
