Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.
The UFC had a relatively quiet week, with just 13 fights announced or finalized for upcoming pay-per-view and fight night events. A featherweight clash with ‘Fight of the Night’ potential between Josh Emmett and Dan Ige was added to UFC 269 in December. Also, a contest between middleweight finishers Joaquin Buckley and Abdul Razak Alhassan was booked for a UFC Fight Night in January.
Bellator scheduled its headliner for Bellator 272. Bantamweight champion Sergio Pettis welcomes RIZIN champion turned recent Bellator signee Kyoji Horiguchi in December for his first title defense.
