The affair was the promotion s 10th event of the year. The UFC is off this weekend. However, the organization returns to action on April 8 with UFC 287, an ESPN streaming pay-per-view card headlined by a rematch between current UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira and ex-titleholder Israel Adesanya. That event kicks off a run of 11 cards the promotion has booked for the year s second quarter.
The first three months of 2023 were momentous for the promotion, with several UFC records broken over that time. The fighters who added their names to the promotion s record book were a mix of veterans and relative newcomers to the promotion. Jon Jones, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Jessica Andrade, Jim Miller, Erin Blanchfield, Mayra Bueno Silva, and Gunnar Silva all broke or set UFC records between January 14 and March 25, 2023.
Before the UFC gets back to action with UFC 287, we look back at the important stats, fights, and records from the first three months of UFC bouts in 2023.
