UFC 311 will go ahead this weekend despite the recent events in California.
The Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California was chosen as the venue for the event, but with the California wildfires posing a serious risk, there were talks that UFC 311 could be moved.
Dana White revealed that UFC 311 would be moved to Las Vegas if the wildfires continued to pose a risk and spread close to the stadium.
This is the first pay-per-view event of the calendar year and has a huge asset to get us started.
As part of a co-main event, Islam Makhachev takes on light heavyweight number one Arman Tsarukyan in a highly anticipated rematch.
Scheduled as co-main event is bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili, who looks to defend his crown against world number two Umar Nurmagomedov.
The excitement is building ahead of the first big fight night of 2025, and with that, Bloody Elbow has everything you need to know about UFC 311.
