The next event is UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on April 5, featuring Renato Moicano vs. Chris Duncan.
Top fighters
The UFC roster is stacked with talent across all weight classes. Jon Jones is still the heavyweight champion. Islam Makhachev rules the lightweight division. Leon Edwards holds the welterweight belt. Israel Adesanya is on a three-fight losing streak but remains a major draw. Sean Strickland, Khamzat Chimaev, and Ilia Topuria are rising stars.
