JAKARTA Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Fight Night 2025 in Indonesia has been postponed to next year due to the government's budget efficiency policy.
This was confirmed by the Director of the Sports Business Fund Management Agency (LPDUK) or Inaspro of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ferry Yuniarto Kono, when met at the Ministry of Youth and Sports on Friday, March 7, 2025.
"So, specifically for UFC Fight Night, we will most likely do it in 2026," said Ferry.
UFC Fight Night 2025 is planned to be held at the Indonesia Arena, Senayan, Jakarta. The event is one of several priority events that should be held this year.
However, President Prabowo Subianto's budget efficiency policy for all Ministries or Institutions has made LPDUK more selective to organize sporting events.

Ferry said that the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora) also felt the policy so that several events that had previously been included in the plan to be held this year had to be adjusted.
"We follow the President's direction to focus first on handling nutrition for children and others," he said.
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, such as the UFC Pay-Per-View (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.
