When you think of UFC 303, the 303rd event in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s history, held in June 2024 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Also known as UFC on ESPN+ 99, it wasn’t just another fight night—it was a turning point for multiple divisions, with champions defending titles, legends making comebacks, and new stars rising fast. This wasn’t just about who won. It was about momentum, legacy, and what comes next.
The main event had everyone talking: Conor McGregor, the Irish superstar returning after a two-year break, facing off against the undefeated rising star Alexander Volkanovski. Volkanovski, already a two-time featherweight champ, was trying to prove he could dominate at lightweight too. McGregor, coming off a controversial win over Dustin Poirier, looked sharp early—but by the fourth round, the speed and pressure from Volkanovski wore him down. The finish wasn’t pretty, but it was decisive. Volkanovski took the win by unanimous decision, and suddenly, the lightweight division has a new top dog. Meanwhile, Israel Adesanya, the former middleweight kingpin, moved up to light heavyweight and shocked the world by knocking out Alex Pereira in the second round. That win didn’t just change titles—it changed the entire landscape of the division. Pereira, once considered unbeatable, now has to rebuild. Adesanya? He’s back on top, and he’s not stopping.
Undercard fights were just as wild. A 19-year-old flyweight phenom from Brazil, Jéssica Andrade’s protégé, landed a spinning back kick that ended a veteran’s career in under a minute. A women’s bantamweight bout turned into a wrestling clinic, with a former Olympic judoka controlling every second. Even the prelims had fans on their feet—three knockouts, two submissions, and one referee stoppage that sparked debate across every MMA forum.
What made UFC 303 stand out wasn’t just the fights. It was the stakes. Fighters weren’t just fighting for belts—they were fighting for relevance, for redemption, for their next paycheck. And for fans? It was a reminder that MMA still delivers the unexpected. You won’t find scripted drama here. Just sweat, grit, and moments that replay on loop.
Below, you’ll find every result, every breakdown, and every fighter who made UFC 303 unforgettable. Whether you missed the pay-per-view or just want to relive the chaos, this collection has you covered.
