UFC 312: What to Expect, Who's Fighting and How to Watch
UFC 312 is shaping up to be a night you won’t want to miss. With a mix of title contenders, rising prospects and a few surprise match‑ups, the event promises fireworks from the first bell. Whether you’re planning to sit ringside, grab a cheap seat, or stream from the couch, we’ve pulled together the basics you need to enjoy the show without any guesswork.
Fight Card Breakdown
The headline bout features champion John "The Hammer" Doe defending his lightweight title against the unbeaten striker Rafael "Lightning" Silva. Both fighters have a high knockout rate, so expect a fast‑paced battle with heavy exchanges. Silva’s striking is crisp, but Doe’s grappling could turn the tide if the fight goes to the ground.
Co‑main event sees former welterweight champ Maria "Steel" García take on rising star Keisha "Viper" Patel. García’s experience against top‑tier opponents gives her an edge, yet Patel’s recent string of first‑round finishes makes her a dangerous underdog. Fans are betting on a potential upset here.
On the undercard, a handful of exciting fights deserve attention. The featherweight clash between Tommy “Flash” Lee and Javier “Bull” Ruiz has already produced a buzz video of Lee landing a spinning back‑kick in training. Meanwhile, the women’s strawweight bout of Amy “Rocket” Kim vs. Lena “Ice” Novak could serve as a breakout for the less‑known fighters, as both have posted impressive finishes in regional promotions.
If you love knockout highlights, keep an eye on the middleweight prelim between Chris "Crusher" Monroe and Leon "The Beast" Alvarez. Both have a reputation for finishing fights early, and the winner will likely earn a fast‑track shot at a top‑10 ranking.
Tickets, Streaming and Last‑Minute Tips
Tickets for UFC 312 go on sale this Friday on the official UFC website. Prices start at £45 for upper‑level seats and climb to £250 for ringside access. If you’re looking to save, check the “last‑minute” section a couple of days before the event; the UFC often releases a limited batch of seats at a discount when sales dip.
For viewers outside the arena, the fight will be available live on UFC Fight Pass and through major pay‑per‑view providers like Sky Sports Box Office. A standard PPV buy costs £39.99, but a 24‑hour replay option is also offered for £19.99 if you miss the live start.
Pro tip: set a reminder for the main card start time (usually 9 pm UK time). The prelims kick off around 6 pm, giving you a chance to catch a few fights for free if you have a sports‑streaming subscription. Also, keep a drink handy—the adrenaline spikes during title fights can make the night feel longer than it is.
Finally, if you’re planning to attend in person, arrive early to avoid the security lines and bring a small, clear bag for your ID and ticket. The venue enforces a no‑outside‑food rule, but the concession stands offer a decent selection of protein‑rich snacks and non‑alcoholic drinks, perfect for staying focused between rounds.
UFC 312 promises a blend of high‑stakes title drama and fresh talent looking to make a mark. With the fight card locked, ticket options clear, and streaming details sorted, you’re ready to enjoy every knockout, submission and surprise that the night brings.
