Next UFC PPV: When is the next major event after UFC 287?

After April's banger of a fight card in Miami, Florida, i.e. UFC 287, the premier MMA promotion will be heading to Newark, New Jersey for the next big pay-per-view event. UFC 288 will take place on May 6th, at the Prudential Center in Newark and will feature the return of Henry Cejudo, who will challenge Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight title.

The bout was supposed to be co-headlined by Charles Oliveira vs. Beneil Dariush, however, 'do Bronx' pulled out of the bout citing an undisclosed injury.

The fight preceding the co-main event will feature former strawweight champion and No.4-ranked strawweight Jessica Andrade as she takes on the No.6-ranked Chinese phenom Xiaonan Yan.

Bryce Mitchell will return to fighting after suffering his first professional loss at the hands of Ilia Topuria at UFC 282. 'Thug Nasty', ranked No.11 at featherweight, will face off against the No.10-ranked featherweight in Russian fighter Movsar Evloev.

Kron Gracie, the son of the legendary Rickson Gracie, will make his octagon return after losing to Cub Swanson in 2019. 'Ice Cream Kron' will face off against Charles Jourdain in the second bout of the main card.
