UFC kicks off its 2025 pay-per-view calendar with a bang. Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan 2 and Merab Dvalishvili vs. Umar Nurmagomov sit atop a fantastic card on Jan. 18 in the Los Angeles suburbs.

Tsarukyan’s UFC debut came on short notice against Makahchev in April 2019. Tsarukyan impressed in a Fight of the Night unanimous decision loss to Makahchev, a fighter already tabbed as a future UFC champion. Nearly six years later, Makhachev sits atop the lightweight division and Tsarukyan is its top contender.

UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov’s influence is all over the UFC 311 poster. His pupil and teammate Makhachev headlines the card, and his cousin, Umar Nurmagomedov, seeks to bring another title to the family in the co-main event. Nurmagomedov challenges Dvalishvili in the latter’s first title defense at bantamweight.

Other must-see fights at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California include former light heavyweight champions Jiri Prochazka vs. Jamahal Hill, and lightweight contenders Beneil Dariush vs. Renato Moicano. Expect appearances by rising contenders Reiner de Ridder, Payton Talbott and Rinya Nakamura.

It is worth noting that the event is taking place in the greater Los Angeles area, which has been devastated by deadly wildfires. Numerous sporting events were postponed or moved out of the area for precautionary reasons, including the NFL Wild Card game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings. There has been no announcement or indication from the promotion that the event is in danger of being moved or postponed.

Below is the complete fight card for UFC 311 along with the latest odds. Check back all week for the latest news, features and other content around this massive event.
