Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is inching closer to its UFC 323 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for this Sat. night (Dec. 6, 2025) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Headlining this weekend’s mixed martial arts (MMA) fight card will be the bantamweight rematch pitting current 135-pound titleholder, Merab Dvalishvili, opposite former division kingpin, Petr Yan. In the UFC 323 co-main event, 125-pound champion, Alexandre Pantoja, defends against No. 1-ranked flyweight contender, Joshua Van.
Not surprisingly, the promotion will roll out its A-team for broadcast and commentary duties.

Longtime play-by-play man, Jon Anik, leads the cageside charge alongside color commentary legend, Joe Rogan, and former UFC two-division champion, Daniel Cormier. As usual, “Veteran Voice of the Octagon,” Bruce Buffer, will handle fighter walkouts while roving reporter, Megan Olivi, covers pre- and post-fight interviews.
That’s according to MMA Junkie.
Retired UFC lightweight, Din Thomas, will pop in throughout the show with insight and feedback from a coaching perspective. In addition, UFC veterans Chael Sonnen, Anthony Smith, and Gilbert Melendez join host Brendan Fitzgerald at the analyst desk for all the combat sports chatter in “Sin City.” The UFC 323 “Prelims” air on ESPN2 with opening fights on ESPN+ (order here). Friday’s live weigh ins show features Cormier and Fitzgerald, along with former middleweight champion, Chris Weidman, and UFC commentator Laura Sanko.
