UFC 311 Title Fights Preview

UFC 311: Get Ready for Fireworks on January 18th

Mark your calendars, fight fans—UFC 311 is about to light up the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on January 18, 2025. This card is absolutely stacked, featuring title fights, explosive matchups, and plenty of “did-you-see-that?!” moments. Let’s break it down.

Main Event: Makhachev vs. Tsarukyan 2 (Lightweight Title)

Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan—this one’s personal. These two went to war back in 2019, and while Makhachev took the W, Tsarukyan didn’t make it easy, winning the striking exchanges in their first matchup. Now, Makhachev’s the king of the lightweight division with three title defenses under his belt, and Tsarukyan has been grinding, racking up a win streak and earning his shot at redemption. This fight is pure drama: a dominant champ vs. a hungry challenger who’s been waiting to run it back. Fireworks are guaranteed.

Co-Main Event: Dvalishvili vs. Nurmagomedov (Bantamweight Title)

Next up, we’ve got Merab Dvalishvili putting his belt on the line against Umar Nurmagomedov. Dvalishvili’s cardio and relentless wrestling are a problem for anyone, but Umar’s undefeated for a reason—he can do it all. It’s a classic. More to come family. Oss.
