UFC 325 Adds Hooker–Saint-Denis Co-Main, Fiziev–Ruffy to Sydney Card

The card is headlined by Alexander Volkanovski’s title rematch with Diego Lopes.

Overview

UFC officials confirmed the additions during the UFC 323 broadcast for the Feb. 1, 2026 event at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
Dan Hooker (#6) meets Benoit Saint-Denis (#8) in the co-main, pairing Hooker’s quick turnaround from a submission loss to Arman Tsarukyan with Saint-Denis’ knockout of Beneil Dariush.
Rafael Fiziev (#9) faces Mauricio Ruffy (#14) at lightweight, with Fiziev coming off a June win over Ignacio Bahamondes as Ruffy looks to rebound from his first UFC defeat.
A heavyweight matchup between Tai Tuivasa and Tallison Teixeira is also scheduled for the event.
Both newly announced lightweight bouts involve ranked fighters and could reshape the division’s pecking order early in 2026.
