Another year of UFC action is ticking along. Fans will have to wait until 2025 for the long-awaited return of Conor McGregor, but MMA’s flagship promotion is producing more stars with each passing year, and many of them have fought – or will fight – in 2024.
“Sugar” Sean O’Malley’s star rose with his first bantamweight title defence, a clinic against old foe Marlon Vera in March, but the American dropped the belt next time out. He was dethroned by Merab Dvalishvili in September, as the Georgian’s relentless pressure proved too much.
It was a similar story for Britain’s Leon Edwards in July, as he surrendered the welterweight title to Belal Muhammad, but the fans in Manchester that night at least got to see Tom Aspinall retain his interim heavyweight title. Aspinall’s first-round knockout of Curtis Blaydes should set up a clash with ‘undisputed’ champion Jon Jones, who is due to defend his title against divisional great Stipe Miocic in November. But Jones has expressed little interest in facing the Wigan heavyweight, potentially complicating the title picture...
Elsewhere, Dricus Du Plessis took the 185lb belt from Sean Strickland and retained it against Israel Adesanya, Ilia Topuria ended Alex Volkanovski’s long featherweight title reign and is set to face Max Holloway, and Islam Makhachev has proven unbeatable at lightweight.
But the true star of 2024 has been Alex Pereira, the former middleweight champ who has become 205lb king and a fan favourite. The Brazilian is always open to fight on short notice and has already knocked out Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree Jr this year.
