The UFC has revealed a series of fight dates and main events for the start of its 2027 calendar, making the announcements during Saturday’s UFC 334 broadcast. The upcoming schedule includes featured bouts for former interim champion Yair Rodriguez, middleweight contenders Joe Pyfer and Bo Nickal, and welterweights Sean Brady and Gabriel Bonfim.
January Schedule and Matchups
The promotion is set to launch its 2027 fight calendar on Jan. 16 in Dallas. Former interim featherweight titleholder Yair Rodriguez will headline the event in a contest against Steve Garcia. The Dallas card will also include a welterweight clash between Daniel Rodriguez and former three-time KSW champion Roberto Soldic, alongside a matchup featuring Ignacio Bahamondes against Chidi Njokuani.
On Jan. 23, the action moves to the Meta APEX for a rescheduled welterweight headliner between Sean Brady and Gabriel Bonfim. The pairing was originally expected to lead a Nov. 7 event, but Brady withdrew on short notice, leading matchmakers to substitute a heavyweight bout between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker.
February Dates and Toronto Event Details
The schedule continues on Feb. 13 in Cleveland, topped by a middleweight bout between ranked fighters Joe Pyfer and Bo Nickal. The matchup was initially targeted for UFC 336 before being shifted to serve as the Cleveland main event.
The organization also announced that UFC 337 will take place in Orlando, Florida, on Feb. 20, though no fights have been finalized for that card. Before Saturday’s broadcast, the only event officially confirmed for 2027 was UFC 336 in Toronto, which features a flyweight championship bout between Joshua Van and Manel Kape, as well as an interim welterweight title fight between Carlos Prates and Michael Morales.
