UFC CEO Dana White announced the complete UFC event schedule through the June 14 Freedom 250 at White House, including three new main events. Key bookings feature Movsar Evloev vs. Lerone Murphy headlining UFC Fight Night on March 21 in London, a featherweight title eliminator with home advantage for Murphy. Israel Adesanya vs. Joe Pyfer tops March 28 in Seattle, boosting middleweight contention. UFC 327 on April 11 in Miami pits Jiri Prochazka vs. Carlos Ulberg for vacant light heavyweight title. This reshuffling clarifies the roadmap, impacts multiple divisions' title pictures, and sets up high-stakes matchups; expect ranking shifts post these bouts.
UFC CEO Dana White unveiled the organization's full event calendar through June 14 on Wednesday, confirming three new main events and laying out a busy stretch of fight nights that reshapes the title picture across multiple divisions.
The announcement gives featherweight contender Lerone Murphy a marquee opportunity on home soil. Murphy, ranked second in the division with a record of 17-1-1, will headline UFC Fight Night on March 21 in London against Movsar Evloev in what has been framed as a featherweight title eliminator. The 34-year-old Englishman out of Manchester Top Team stands five-foot-nine with a 73-inch reach and has built a reputation as a well-rounded threat, averaging 4.34 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy while also contributing 1.2 takedowns per 15 minutes.
One week later in Seattle, Israel Adesanya returns to action against rising middleweight Joe Pyfer on March 28. Adesanya, ranked eighth at middleweight, carries a 24-6 record and at 36 remains one of the sport's most technically refined strikers. The six-foot-four Nigerian out of City Kickboxing switches stances and averages 4.03 significant strikes per minute over his career. A strong performance would move him back into serious title contention at 185 pounds.
The headline attraction of the announced stretch arrives April 11 at UFC 327 in Miami, where Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg collide for the vacant light heavyweight championship. Prochazka, the second-ranked contender from the Czech Republic, brings a 32-6-1 record and ferocious output to the cage, averaging 5.69 significant strikes landed per minute at 55 percent accuracy. The six-foot-three orthodox striker out of Jetsaam Gym Brno carries an 80-inch reach and has shown the ability to finish fights from virtually any position.
Why it matters
- Murphy vs. Evloev in London serves as a de facto featherweight title eliminator with major rankings consequences
- Adesanya's March 28 bout against Pyfer could push him back toward the top five at middleweight
- Prochazka vs. Ulberg on April 11 crowns a new light heavyweight champion and resets the division's hierarchy
- The schedule culminates with the June 14 Freedom 250 event at the White House, adding further high-profile context to the entire run
