The UFC announced the dates and venues for upcoming major live events: UFC 334 and UFC 335 will emanate from Madison Square Garden in New York and the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, respectively.
UFC 334 will happen on November 14 and UFC 335 lands on December 12. Both dates and venues were predictable if you’re familiar with the promotion’s history. What was a mild surprise is the sponsorship tacked on the name of the UFC 334 event.
The show will officially be known as Polymarket UFC 334. Let’s talk MMA.

The sponsorship is bigger than a logo. Polymarket has been the UFC’s exclusive prediction market partner since November 2025, a deal that already put forecasts on the broadcast and inside arenas and made it Zuffa Boxing’s first brand partner.
Putting the name on the event goes past what that deal covered. TKO chair Ariel Emanuel framed the original agreement around fan participation; a title sponsorship is a different order of commitment.
There were no fights announced, but based on the calendar and who we’ve already seen fight this year, it’s reasonable to imagine one of the events could feature Kayla Harrison defending her UFC women’s bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes in one of the biggest fights in the history of women’s MMA. Justin Gaethje has said he won’t fight again until 2027, but if the payday is big enough, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him on UFC 335 defending his lightweight title. Carlos Prates doesn’t have a fight scheduled, so he seems like a potential candidate for one of the main cards.
