Why Is There No UFC Event This Week and When Will It Return?
Even during the pandemic, UFC continued its fights while effectively tackling the difficult situation and kept fans entertained. Similarly, UFC events held in 2021 had some of the best fights. The promotion managed to give its viewers exciting bouts and will continue to do so.
UFC’s last event so far was UFC Fight Night: Vieira vs. Tate and was held on November 21 in Las Vegas. However, no event has been planned for the following week. After 4 weeks of great events, fans will have to wait for a while before a banger event with exciting fighters facing each other in the octagon.

UFC announced on Twitter that there are no events this week. This led to fans speculating the reason behind this decision. It turns out that not many people were interested in seeing Ketlen Vieira and Miesha Tate fight and were, in fact, disappointed. The main event saw the victory of Vieira. However, many fans felt that the bout should not have been the main event.

Several fans were of the opinion that Michael Chiesa versus Sean Brady should have been the main event instead. This disparity between the promotions decision and the viewer’s wishes resulted in a lackluster main event. There is a possibility that UFC is waiting out on a weekend to build more enthusiasm and excitement among its viewers.
Fans are surely looking forward to better events in the future. Hopefully, the upcoming events can create enough enthusiasm among them, unlike the previous one.
