If you’re a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship – or mixed martial arts more generally – then you’ll want to get yourself to Nevada this summer. From 27 June – 3 July, the world’s fastest growing combat sport will take over Sin City. International Fight Week will include a 2-day fan experience – UFC X – the 2022 UFC Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, and culminate with UFC 276.
UFC X is an evolution of the popular UFC Fan Expo that has featured at International Fight Week before, but it’s bigger, badder, and better than ever. Taking place at Las Vegas Convention Center on Friday 1 July and Saturday 2 July, UFC X promises an immersive and interactive fan experience with activities, stage shows, and unrivalled access to fighters past and present for meet-and-greets, autograph sessions, and more.
Many people dream of seeing their name up in lights in Las Vegas, and likewise many fighters can only dream of one day entering the prestigious UFC Hall of Fame. Last year, UFC legends Georges St-Pierre and Kevin Randleman were inducted, and following in their footsteps in 2022 are Daniel Cormier and Khabib Nurmagomedov, who both retired in 2020.
Cormier finished his career with 22 wins, 3 defeats, and 1 no contest on his record. A champion at both light heavyweight and heavyweight, he was only the second fighter to hold belts in multiple weight classes simultaneously after Conor McGregor. Meanwhile, former lightweight champion Nurmagomedov hung up his gloves with a perfect 29-0 record, which included successful title defences against McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje. The pair have been 2 of the UFC’s biggest stars in the modern era, and you can be there live to see them honoured for their remarkable achievements at the T-Mobile Arena on 30 June.

The headline event of this year’s International Fight Week is UFC 276, which will take place at the T-Mobile Arena on 2 July. The suitably stacked card will feature plenty of thrilling contests, most notably championship bouts between Israel Adesanya and Jared Cannonier, and Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway. Adesanya will be putting his undisputed middleweight title on the line for the 5th time when he takes on No. 2 contender Cannonier, while featherweight champion Volkanovski will be looking to make it 3 wins out of 3 when he faces Holloway in their trilogy showdown.
UFC X cost USD $23 for a 1-day pass or $45 for a 2-day pass, while tickets to the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony cost $39. Official standard tickets to UFC 276 start at $440 (resale is also available and may be cheaper), while VIP experiences begin at $1,600.
