We've passed the halfway point in 2024, and the UFC landscape is already drastically different than it was since the year started.
The UFC has promoted seven pay-per-views and a dizzying 15 Fight Nights since the beginning of January. While we are still waiting for the returns of long-absent legends Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, we have seen appearances from some of the top fighters in the UFC in that time, including Islam Makhachev, Ilia Topuria, Sean O'Malley and Alex Pereira.
The light heavyweight champion Pereira has been particularly busy, having wedged two title defenses into the span of seven months.
