On Saturday December 17, returns with the last event of 2022. UFC Vegas 66 airs live from the Apex in Las Vegas, and is headlined by a middleweight fight between Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland.

No. 3 ranked Cannonier comes from a title fight loss against then champion Israel Adesanya, while No. 7 ranked Strickland comes from a loss against newly crowned champion Alex Pereira.
