This weekend will mark UFC’s return to “The Sooner State” to stage UFC Oklahoma tomorrow evening (Sat., July 18, 2026) LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as former UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis meets former UFC welterweight king Kamaru Usman in the main event. It may not seem like a huge matchup compared to some of UFC’s other recent main events, but DDP vs. Usman is pretty important for a few reasons. This is not only the first time fight fans are seeing du Plessis in action after he coughed up his 185-pound title against Khamzat Chimaev back at UFC 319, but it will also mark the first time Usman is competing at middleweight with a full camp. Remember, Usman stepped in on short notice back at UFC 294 to fight Chimaev at 185 pounds. Usman lost via majority decision, but the veteran looked pretty damn good (albeit that was almost three years ago). On Friday, du Plessis and Usman successfully hit the 186-pound benchmark during early morning weigh ins (results HERE). The two middleweights will come together one final time later tonight as UFC Oklahoma’s ceremonial weigh ins stream plays out LIVE and FREE in the above video player beginning at 5 p.m. ET.
