JAKARTA Indonesia will host the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Fight Night in November 2025.
This information has been confirmed by the Special Staff of the Minister of Youth and Sports (Stafsus Menpora) of the Republic of Indonesia, Alvin Suryohadiprojo, after a meeting with the UFC in Macau on November 23, 2024.
The event is planned to take place at the Indonesia Arena. The battle for mixed martial arts events will certainly run with careful technical preparations.
The Indonesia Arena was built in 2023 and inaugurated by President Joko Widodo. The place is a closed stadium with international standards.
The stadium consists of five floors and is equipped with various facilities, including the main field, training field, players' dressing room, jacuzzi pool, spectator toilet rinse room, VVIP stands with the form of royal boxes, and media space.
Tapak dari bangunan Indonesia Arena ini seluas 21.304 meter persegi dengan kapasitas penonton sebanyak 16.088 orang. Lokasinya merupakan lahan milik Kementerian Sekertaris Negara seluas 30.270 meter persegi.

The Indonesian Arena stands have two to three levels of permanent shape and a level one tribune with telescopic tribune technology that can be folded automatically. This technology can reduce the audience capacity to 13,500 people.
Then the field at the Indonesia Arena can be enlarged to a length of 80-85 meters and a width of 46-55 meters.
With the adjustment of the field, the stadium can be used for various sports, such as badminton, basketball, volleyball, tennis, boxing, to MMA (mixed martial arts).
Unlike major events such as the UFC Pay-Per-View (PPV), the UFC Fight Night usually features a fight that focuses more on building the names of young fighters or bringing together top fighters in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Although it doesn't always feature top fighters like the UFC PPV, the UFC Fight Night still presents competitive and interesting matches.
Often this event becomes a stage for young fighters or those who are on the rise to show their abilities.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora) is optimistic about bringing the UFC Fight Night to Indonesia because of international standard facilities owned by the Indonesia Arena.
This is in accordance with the wishes of MMA promoters who always apply high standards. Thus, there must still be a follow-up meeting to discuss the technicalities of the match later.
Being able to present UFC Fight Night in Indonesia is a big step in MMA sports. This is an opportunity to show that Indonesia is able to host international sporting events on a large scale.
With the thorough preparation and support of various parties and adequate infrastructure, the Indonesia Arena will become history as a place that has held the UFC Fight Night event.
