Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., Jan. 31, 2026) with the second numbered event of the Paramount+<\/a> era. UFC 325 is the first Paramount+<\/a>-streamed event to take place outside the United States. Indeed, we\u2019re in Australia for this one, inside Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.<\/p>\n

The main event tonight is Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes 2<\/a> for Volkanovski\u2019s UFC Featherweight title. The Aussie recaptured that belt with a decision win over Lopes last year (watch highlights<\/a>). That was a pretty exciting fight, with the crafty Volkanovski showing he had too much for the rather one-note Lopes.<\/p>\n

UFC 325\u2019s main card also has Rafael Fiziev vs. Mauricio Ruffy<\/a>. Both those guys are coming off losses. Fiziev lost a decision to Justin Gaethje last year. We just saw that Gaethje is still pretty damn good. Ruffy was dominated by Saint-Denis in his last fight.<\/p>\n

UFC 325\u2019s \u201cPrelims\u201d are headlined by Junior Tafa vs. Billy Elekana. There are some pretty good prospects on the undercard tonight. Cam Rowston will get tested by Cody Brundage. And Jonathan Micallef has a tough fight scheduled with Oban Elliott. The early \u201cPrelims\u201d has a slew of Road to UFC fights, the 20 year-old Sangrangbo might be one to keep an eye on (and not just for potential betting irregularities<\/a>).<\/p>\n
