UFC campaign map for March 2025

The UFC is in the middle of a busy run. After two fighting cards in January, the Fight promotion followed with four events in February. In March 2025, one month with five Saturdays, the UFC planned five fighting cards, with the anchor event being the UFC 313 Pay-Per-View card. We look at the UFC time plan for March 2025.

UFC time plan March 2025: UFC Vegas 103

The first fighting map of the month takes place on the first day of the month, Saturday, March 1st. This event UFC Vegas 103 is booked for the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, NV. UFC Vegas 103 streams on ESPN+.

In the main event of the UFC Fight Night Card there is a flyweight competition between the rankings, Manel Kape and Asu Almabayev.

Manel Cape (20-7 with 12 Knockouts and five submissions) is the No. 6 fighter in the official UFC fly weight ranking. The UFC Kape initially booked against the former UFC Flyweight title title challenger Brandon Royval in the headlining location of this event, but Royval left out for an injury in early February.

Kape, a former master of Rizin Bantamweight, joined the UFC in early 2021 after a win against Kai Asakura. He opened his UFC career with successive losses. Since then, Kap has found his groove. He is 5-1 with the action. His only loss during this time was a setback in July 2024 against the unbeaten Muhammad Mokaev. Kape achieved a TKO victory against Bruno Silva in December 2024.

Asu Almabayev (21: 2 with three knockouts and nine submissions) fought for the first time in August 2023 under the UFC banner.

Almabayev made a quick climb in the UFC ranking. With four fights for the UFC, all victories, he has already broken into the top 10 of the flyweight weight class.

Almabayev achieved a victory in October 2024 against Matheus Nicolau. At that time, Nicolau was on a duel loss from Skid. He was released from the promotion after he lost to Almabayev.

The UFC had initially planned Almabayev against Steve Erceg on this card, but ERCEG was brought to the UFC Mexico event. With Royval's injury, the promotion of Almabayev put into the main event.

UFC 313 will take place on Saturday, March 8, in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vague.

UFC 313 Main event: Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev

Alex Pereira (12-2) began in 2023 with the loss of his UFC title title in the middle weight against Israel Adesanya through Knockout. In July Pereira followed this setback with a victory against the former title of the UFC Light Heavyweight, Jan Błachowicz, in his UFC debut at £ 205. He ended the year by knocking out the Kingpin Jiří Procházka from ex-UFC at UFC 295 to claim the vacant UFC 205 pound title.

Pereira distributed his first defense of his crown in April when he excluded 300 matchups (another) EX UFC champion in heavy heavyweight, Jamahal Hill, in the first round of her UFC. Pereira showed that his power lies on a different level when he ended Hill 3:14 in the first round of the main event of UFC 300.

In June, the UFC asked Pereira and Procházka to lead UFC 303 when Conor McGregor's struggle fell against Michael Chandler.

After the fight that Pereira won over a knockout with 13 seconds in the second stanza, I wrote:

“Pereira showed that his first victory against Prochazka was no coincidence. The UFC Light Heavyweight Champ is a terrifying fighter who puts a lot of strength in his strokes, but it is also an extremely focused competitor who doesn't bother him.

“Pereira scored two Knockouts on Saturday evening and painted the former champion Jiri Prochazka on the bell on the mat to end the first round and then sent him down again in the first moments of the second round with one head kick.”

In August the UFC Pereira booked against Khalil Rountree Jr.

Pereira recorded his third UFC title defense from 2024 on Saturday evening. Pereira let his opponent, Khalil Rountreen Jr., tire of the early struggle of the fight, while he also slowed him down with powerful kicks to conquer Rounre's leadership. Pereira raised the pace in the third round and fought very effectively behind his thrust. This push opened several nasty cuts around Rounre's eye and on the back of the nose. These blows violate Rountree, and when Pereira faded, he looked for it with precision and diveries and forced the referee Marc Goddard to stop the fight in the fourth round. Goddard could have stopped so much earlier.

Pereira was in the race for the fighter of the year for 2024.

Magomed Ankalaev (19-1-1-1) has been a member of the UFC squad since 2018. Ankalaev lost his UFC debut when Paul Craig submitted him to the third round at 4:59 a.m. Since then, Ankalaev has gone 13 fights without loss.

Ankalaev secured a title fight in December 2022 when he faces the former UFC champion Jan Blachowicz because of the crown difficult heavy heavy weight crown. However, this competition ended with a divided draw, and neither the man who impressed the matchmaker in this matchup decided the UFC not to give a man a second to earn the belt.

Since then, Ankalaev has been 2-0-0-1 with a No Contest (illegal knee) against Johnny Walker and finally a decision victory against Aleksandar Rakic ​​at UFC 308.

When the UFC decided to give the UFC champion in the heavyweight Alex Pereira a fight against Khalil Rountree at UFC 307 and to avoid Ankalaev, he felt motivated by the promotion, but also.

“Now everyone knows that I am not fighting for the title and will fight Rakic ​​in Abu Dhabi. Whoever (UFC -Matchmaker) Mick Maynard gives me, I will smash your face so that you can no longer deny me if I make my job impressive. I'm sorry that everyone who will fight me from now on will fight me, ”said Ankalaev at the time.

Not long after that Ankalaev said Pereira ran in front of him. He has the chance to face Pereira on March 8.
