From knockouts and post-fight interviews to funny in-cage spots, or maybe you’re a hardcore mixed martial arts (MMA) freak and remember everything.

Well, either way, we’ve got you covered.

In part three of UFC 2025, “Rewind,” which runs from UFC Nashville (July 12, 2025) to UFC 320 (Oct. 4, 2025), we look back at some of the most memorable moments from that specific event timeline, including Dustin Poirier retiring, Khamzat Chimaev finally winning gold, and “Poatan” exacting revenge.

Brazil’s Valter Walker broke out this year as a Heavyweight to watch, and at UFC Nashville, he scored his third straight heel-hook on Kennedy Nzechukwu, tapping him in 54 seconds.

Spoiler: He scored ANOTHER one three months later (see it here).

BMF champion Max Holloway exacted his revenge on Dustin Poirier at UFC 318, defeating him via unanimous decision in their trilogy, retiring him in the process (watch highlights).

UFC Vegas 108 had two fights that could easily be contenders for 2025 Fight of the Year:
Chris Duncan vs. Mateusz Rebecki (watch the fight here because I can’t embed it) and Esteban Ribovics vs. Elves Brener

Oh, and both fights won Fight of the Night

Khamzat Chimaev finally won UFC gold at UFC 319; however, Lerone Murphy’s spinning back elbow stole the show, especially because Aaron Pico’s debut was highly anticipated and he was winning the fight … until he wasn’t.

UFC Paris was violent. The event set a new UFC record for the most knockouts in a single event, registering nine knockouts. However, in the co-main event, there was a submission, which was Benoit Saint-Denis cooling the extreme hype of Mauricio Ruffy, tapping him in the second round.

2025 was the year of the spinning elbow knockout, and Noche UFC 3’s main event ended in one too as Diego Lopes stopped an ultra-aggressive Jean Silva right in his tracks.

Poor Jake Matthews kind of got screwed at UFC Perth.

Referee Jim Perdios briefly stopped the Neil Magny vs. Matthews fight at the end of Round 1, thinking Magny was out in a guillotine, but reversed the call after the horn. Magny rallied in Round 3 to submit Matthews with a D’Arce choke.

There were a lot of options for UFC 320, but anytime I get a chance to mention Khalil Rountree vs. Jiri Prochazka again … I’m going to do it.
