2022 UFC event schedule: Calvin Kattar vs. Arnold Allen, Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira on tap

The second half of 2022 is heating up in a big way for UFC. At UFC 280, Islam Makhachev made a big statement, winning the lightweight title with a second-round submission of Charles Oliveira and setting the stage to a big end to the UFC’s calendar year.

Perhaps the biggest upset of the year came in August when Leon Edwards shocked the world with his head-kick knockout of pound-for-pound great Kamaru Usman in the final minute of their bout to claim the welterweight title. Edwards was down and likely headed to a decision loss in the rematch seven years in the making. But the thrilling finish shook up both the welterweight and Pound for Pound landscape.
