UFC 311 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on January 18, 2025, at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, United States.[1]

Background

After hosting 17 events in the Greater Los Angeles area, this will be the promotion's debut at Intuit Dome, which opened in August 2024.

The event will mark the promotion's third visit to Inglewood and first since UFC 232 in December 2018.[1]

A UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan is scheduled to headline the event.[2] They previously met at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Oleinik in April 2019, where Makhachev defeated Tsarukyan by unanimous decision in Tsarukyan's UFC debut.[3]

A 5 round co-main event bout between former champions Jiří Procházka and Jamahal Hill is scheduled to take place. [4]

A bantamweight bout between The Return of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Volkanovski vs. Team Ortega bantamweight winner Ricky Turcios and Bernardo Sopaj was expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Prates in November 2024, but it was scrapped after the weigh-ins due to undisclosed medical issues related to Turcios.[5] The pairing has been rescheduled to take place at this event.[6]

Grant Dawson and Carlos Diego Ferreira are scheduled to compete in a lightweight bout at the event.[7] They were once expected to meet at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Walker in October 2021, but Ferreira pulled out due to injury.[8]
