In MMA, What Fight is Most Wanted Right Now?

Posted on September 8, 2023 by A. J. Riot

The year 2023 has been remarkable for the MMA world. Many big fights took place this year, leaving fans hungry for more, introducing emerging talents, reminding the crowd that some veterans are still here to make some noise, and proving that this sport is anything but done.

The UFC once again has taken all the spotlight with its big events and major fights, including Islam Makhachev beating Alexander Volkanovski, Brandon Moreno beating Deiveson Figueiredo in their fourth fight, as well as Israel Adesanya, who defied the odds with a notable KO over Alex Pereira to reclaim his light-heavyweight championship.

These are only a couple of fights that made the rounds around the MMA world in the first eight months of the year. Moreover, a couple of bouts have been drawing more and more attention from fans, who want to see the biggest names in the business put on a show.

Several fights, including the debuts of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and controversial boxer Jake Paul at the Professional Fighters League (PFL), are getting some hype from fans. Still, only one is making the most noise right now, and you’re about to learn more about it.
