Rewritten Title: A Peek at the Upcoming 2023 UFC Schedule: Don’t Miss These Major Fights

The UFC is back for another year of exhilarating action, with Conor McGregor’s highly anticipated return to the octagon being one of the most anticipated events. However, with the emergence of new stars, such as Islam Makhachev and Jon Jones, fans have much to look forward to beyond McGregor. In February, Makhachev retained his lightweight title against Alexander Volkanovski in a nail-biter on Australian soil. Then, after three years away, Jones submitted Ciryl Gane in the first round to claim the heavyweight title vacated by Francis Ngannou. Leon Edwards also retained the welterweight belt in March after a decision win over Kamaru Usman in London. Israel Adesanya rounded off a thrilling month by defeating Alex Pereira to regain the middleweight belt. More exciting title fights
