Although some of the exact dates and venues still need to be confirmed, UFC President Dana White has announced three title fights for the promotion’s next quarter.

Recently, White announced that middleweight champion Sean Strickland will battle Dricus du Plessis in January, featherweight champion Alexander Volkanvoski will fight Ilia Topuria in February and bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley will take on Marlon Vera in March.

No dates for the fights have been confirmed; however, ESPN is reporting that sources say January’s pay-per-view card will take place on January 20th in Toronto, Ontario.

The O’Malley – Vera match-up is a rematch, as the latter stopped “Sugar” in the opening round back in August, 2020.

The other bouts are expected to headline UFC 298 and UFC 299 respectively.
