The main event
Charles Oliveira, the UFC’s all-time leader in finishes and submissions, remains one of the most dangerous lightweights alive — a former champion whose guard game and opportunistic striking have ended fights in every round. Diego Lopes has been the division’s breakout star, riding a wave of first-round finishes and a rabid fan base into the biggest fight of his career. For Oliveira, a win reopens the title picture at 155 pounds; for Lopes, beating a former champion in a pay-per-view main event in Las Vegas is a coronation. Five rounds, elite grappling on both sides and two of the most aggressive finishers in the sport — this is exactly the kind of headliner the UFC saves for its year-end Vegas date.
The rest of the card
The announced main card is deep: former light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira moves up to heavyweight against knockout artist Sergei Pavlovich in a fight that almost guarantees a finish; former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno meets Charles Johnson; rising middleweights Joe Pyfer and Bo Nickal collide in a prospect-versus-prospect test; and Quentin Pasley faces Junior Tafa at light heavyweight. Expect further bouts to be added on UFC’s official event page as fight night approaches.
The venue
T-Mobile Arena, on the Strip at 3780 S Las Vegas Blvd, is the UFC’s Las Vegas home for numbered events: roughly 20,000 seats, a massive center-hung screen and an atmosphere that turns the arena bowl into a cauldron by main-event time. December pay-per-views at T-Mobile are a fixture of the MMA calendar and regularly sell out.
Tickets
Tickets are on sale through UFC’s official event page at ufc.com/event/ufc-335, which links the authorized sellers. Buy through official channels only — championship-season Vegas cards attract heavy resale markups — and check the official page for the latest card updates before you travel.
Getting to T-Mobile Arena
T-Mobile Arena sits behind New York-New York and Park MGM on the south Strip. Paid parking is available at both resorts, and the Park MGM and Monte Carlo-area garages fill early on fight nights. The Las Vegas Monorail’s MGM Grand station plus a short walk or rideshare is a reliable alternative; plan to arrive before the 4:00 PM prelims to clear security comfortably.
