The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Inglewood for first time since 2018 to host their first numbered event of 2025 - UFC 311: Makhachev vs. Moicano, which is headlined by a couple of highly anticipated world championship bouts.

In the main event, UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev was scheduled to rematch No. 1 ranked contender Arman Tsarukyan for gold, but after the latter pulled out due to injury, No. 10 ranked Renato Moicano, who was set to face Beneil Dariush on the under card, stepped in as a very late replacement.

Meanwhile UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili looks to take out No. 2 ranked Umar Nurmagomedov in the co-main event.

Also on the main card, No. 2 ranked light heavyweight contender Jiri Prochazka meets No. 3 ranked Jamahal Hill after No. 9 ranked lightweight contender Beneil Dariush was scheduled to face Moicano in a pivotal bout, but that was cancelled.

An intriguing middleweight bout sees fan favorite Kevin Holland take on former One Championship champ Reinier de Ridder in the main card opener after Dana White's Contender Series standout Payton Talbott faces veteran Raoni Barcelos at bantamweight to close the preliminary card.

The prelims will also see top heavyweight contenders collide as No. 6 ranked Jailton Almeida battles No. 7 Serghei Spivac after No. 13 ranked light heavyweight Bogdan Guskov squares off against UFC newcomer Billy Elekana.

Grant Dawson faces Diego Ferreira in an exciting clash of lightweight grapplers to open the preliminary card after Zachary Reese welcomes new signee Azamat Bekoev to the UFC middleweight division in the early preliminary card.

The early prelims will also see No. 9 ranked women's bantamweight contender Karol Rosa look
to snap the win streak of No. 13 Ailin Perez after Japan's phenom and RTU Season 1 bantamweight tournament winner Rinya Nakamura seek to remain undefeated when he takes on Muin Gafurov.

Early prelims will also feature two more bouts as bantamweights Ricky Turcios and Benardo Sopaj aim to put on a show after No. 11 ranked flyweight contender Tagir Ulanbekov looks to knock
Clayton Carpenter from the ranks of the unbeaten.
