Ilia Topuria UFC Fight Update: Paramount+ Card Possible

Ilia Topuria’s Next Fight: Dana White Teases Paramount+ Card

Exciting news for UFC fans! With UFC 323 announcing its main and co-main events, it looks like UFC titleholders not already scheduled for 2025 won’t be back until 2026. And guess what? That’s when the UFC’s new streaming deal with Paramount+ and CBS kicks off!

UFC president Dana White hinted at an “ambitious” schedule ahead during a recent media scrum. He mentioned that the first Paramount card is already in the works, promising fans that they aim to deliver top-notch fight cards. Though no fights are confirmed yet, White teased that UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria might headline the first Paramount+ event. However, his opponent is still up in the air, with Paddy Pimblett or Justin Gaethje as potential matchups.

But wait, there’s more! UFC plans to expand its reach with additional content, including bringing “Contender Series” and TKO Boxing to Paramount+ in 2026. We can only hope that the rumored “star problem” won’t stop the promotion from filling in the near-weekly fight cards we’re all looking forward to.

All in all, get ready for an action-packed year ahead with the UFC and Paramount+ joining forces. Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming fight cards and events!
