Thus far, there is only one fight announced for any of these events, which is a lightweight division bout between Gleison Tibau and Islam Makhachev at UFC 220.
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping also said after UFC 217 that he would like to compete at UFC Fight Night London this March, although that is far from confirmed at this point.
Up next for the promotion in 2017 is UFC Fight Night Norfolk on Saturday, November 11 with Dustin Poirier and Anthony Pettis headlining.
