From the 11 champions down to the newest additions to each division, you could argue that the skills of the competitors crossing the threshold into the UFC Octagon each weekend has never been higher. Additionally, last year delivered an endless string of entertaining contests and must-see moments, from the opening event in Las Vegas to the final show in Tampa, Florida, with the competition for the annual year-end awards never being stiffer.
There is nothing to suggest any of that will change in 2025. If anything, it might continue to go up another notch, as the Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) Class of ’24 is outstanding and the depth across the various divisions has never been better.
