UFC 319 is the most anticipated MMA show of the year.
On August 17, 2025, MMA will gather its national attention on the city of Chicago as UFC targets the United Center as the location to host UFC 319 and its event, crowned with a middleweight bout of an immense title match. Dricus du Plessis, the current champ and Khamzat Chimaev, the massive, undefeated force are the two title fighters engaging in the kind of fight that could define their careers.
Having recently acquired two UFC title defenses dominated with wins against Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya, Du Plessis goes inside the cage with that confidence and momentum. In the meantime, Chimaev gets the shot he had been chasing divided by visa paperwork, descent and previous failures, but he now has his mark set with steady eyes and a grim resolve. The extreme uncertainty is being depicted by betting lines. Chimaev comes in a marginal favorite but Du Plessis is still a valid betting threat in the betting marketplace which says much about how close the title match is anticipated to be.
Fight week was not drama free. Two of the undercard fights were scrapped at the last minute, one of which was a bout involving King Green and it was disruptive, but the UFC has gone to add some replacement fights in order to save the integrity of the card.
The primary match is on ESPN at 7:30 AM IST. Chimaev also publicly credited US President Donald Trump with assisting to resolve his visa problems the subject of which had precluded his departure to the nation in the case of this bout.
Other than the main event, the co main event features the Lerone Murphy vs Aaron Pico, which brings a fresh dose of intrigue due to the amazing story of Murphy and the fire of debut in Pico.
All in all, UFC 319 will become an MMA event not to be missed in 2025, full of pent up aggression, stylistic intrigue, and heartfelt redemption, both behind and inside the cage.
