2020 UFC event schedule: Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier III, Darren Till vs. Robert Whittaker highlight cards

Watch Now: Biggest Takeaway from UFC Fight Night (1:25)

UFC has made good on its promise to never stop running live events throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Despite cancelling a handful of shows early on, the premier mixed martial arts organization in the world has had events just about every week since May 9. 

It started with Tony Ferguson taking on Justin Gaethje in Jacksonville and has seen Amanda Nunes face off with Felicia Spencer in Las Vegas. The company closed out its short residency in Sin City with an instant classic as Dustin Poirier outlasted Dan Hooker over five grueling rounds to insert his name back into title contention at 155 pounds.

Now, with UFC setting up shop on Fight Island, three title fights kicked off the action at UFC 251. Kamaru Usman slowed down the hype train of Jorge Masvidal with a dominant decision win in the main event while Alexander Volkanovski retained his title over Max Holloway in a competitive rematch. Plus, Petr Yan was crowned bantamweight champ with a late TKO over Jose Aldo.

Now, on Saturday, July 25, the four-card Fight Island slate concludes as former middleweight champ Robert Whittaker takes on Darren Till in the latter’s second fight at 185 pounds.
