As we approach the end of another thrilling year of UFC action, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what's to come in 2024! While the return of Conor McGregor is still a bit far off, the UFC is constantly producing new stars and incredible fights. The upcoming year promises to be packed with excitement and unforgettable moments in mixed martial arts.
This year has seen fighters like “Sugar” Sean O’Malley rise to prominence, showcasing their skills and determination in the octagon. In March, O’Malley defended his bantamweight title against Marlon Vera, setting the stage for an intense year ahead. However, the competitive nature of MMA means that titles can change hands quickly, as seen when Merab Dvalishvili dethroned O’Malley in September.
Meanwhile, British fighter Leon Edwards faced challenges of his own, losing the welterweight title to Belal Muhammad. Despite this setback, the fans in Manchester were treated to Tom Aspinall's impressive victory as he retained his interim heavyweight title. The unpredictability of the sport keeps fans on the edge of their seats, and 2024 is shaping up to be no different!
