It’s UFC 323 fight week — the final pay-per-view (PPV) of the ESPN era — and the usual schedule is already underway. UFC media day takes place today (Weds., Dec. 3, 2025), followed by the UFC 323 press conference on Thurs., then official weigh-ins Fri. morning and ceremonial weigh-ins later that afternoon.
But this week comes with a little extra.

The promotion has confirmed it will host its 2025 Seasonal Press Conference this Friday, just an hour before the UFC 323 ceremonial weigh-ins.
So, what does this mean?
Historically, these seasonal pressers showcase the headliners of the next two PPVs — similar to the 2024 season kickoff, which featured the UFC 297, UFC 298 and UFC 299 headliners all on one stage.
If UFC sticks to that template, expect to see:
UFC 324: Justin Gaethje, Paddy Pimblett, Kayla Harrison, Amanda Nunes, Sean O’Malley, and Song Yadong.
UFC 325: Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes
… along with a few surprise additions.
And who knows — maybe we’ll get a sizzle reel previewing the first quarter of UFC’s 2026 schedule (wishful thinking, but hey).

Either way, fight fans are getting an extra show during UFC 323 fight week, courtesy of a bonus UFC seasonal presser dropping this Friday.
