Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.
There are three months left in 2021, so the UFC is going all out with its recent additions to the final pay-per-view and fight night events of the year. The promotion either announced or finalized 27 fights this week, and an interim bantamweight championship between No. 1 and No. 3 in the division has been set.
Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling were going to meet at UFC 267 in October for an immediate rematch stemming from their controversial outing at UFC 259 earlier this year.
