Sick and tired of trawling the web to find out when the next big MMA or UFC event is on or how to watch? Well, we’ve done all the hard work for you, here’s the full schedule for 2016 in MMA…
We’ve had some great fights so far in 2016, with Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit’s five round war leading the way at UFC 195. With so much more yet to come, it’s clear the fans of mixed martial arts are going to be in for another explosive year of wild action.
It’s certainly going to be a busy one, and in the UFC especially. UFC 200 is just around the corner, as is Conor McGregor’s next fight at UFC 197.
Without further ado, here’s the MMA Schedule 2016…
