The list features a range of high-profile bouts, including a potential rematch between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, as well as a showdown between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.
Other notable fights on the list include a bout between lightweight contenders Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira, and a matchup between women's bantamweight champions Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko.
According to Dine, the key to a successful 2025 for the UFC will be the promotion's ability to deliver on its promise of big fights and exciting matchups.
