The full UFC Tampa card is now official.
On Tuesday the UFC officially revealed the full lineup for the final show of 2024 which takes place on Dec. 14 at Amalie Arena.
In the main event, undefeated Irish superstar Ian Machado Garry takes on the surging Joaquin Buckley in a welterweight scrap that could determine the next title challenger at 170 pounds. Both Garry and Buckley threw their names in the hat to serve as replacement opponents against Shavkat Rakhmonov for UFC 310 the weekend prior to UFC Tampa, but instead were booked against each other in this main event.
The co-main event features a top-10 strawweight battle as multiple time BJJ world champion Mackenzie Dern faces off with Amanda Ribas in a rematch of their 2019 matchup that Ribas won via unanimous decision.
A ranked men’s flyweight matchup will also be on the card as Manel Kape takes on Bruno Silva as Kape looks to rebound from his July loss to Muhammad Mokaev, while Silva hopes to move up the rankings by adding on to his four fight win streak.
The complete UFC Tampa fight card can be seen below.
Maybe the third time could be the charm for Tracy Cortez and Miranda Maverick.
Just over a month away from the upcoming UFC Tampa card on Dec. 14, Cortez has been forced out of her scheduled fight against Maverick. It’s the second time the fight was scheduled and then scrapped with Cortez being pulled from the previous matchup when she got a short notice opportunity to face Rose Namajunas at the UFC Denver card in July.
This time around Cortez pulled out of the fight with an undisclosed injury with multiple people close to the situation confirming the news to MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck on Tuesday. MMA Junkie initially reported the change to the fight.
With Cortez out, the search is underway to find an opponent for Maverick but a new fight hasn’t been determined yet.
Maverick is looking to build on a three-fight win streak after scoring victories over Dione Barbosa, Andrea Lee and Priscila Cachoeira in consecutive appearances.
Unfortunately she’ll now have to shift her attention to a new opponent with Cortez unable to compete at the upcoming card in Tampa, which serves as the final UFC event for 2024.

The UFC’s return to Madison Square Garden, and the massively hyped heavyweight championship main event between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic is less than two weeks away.
Jones and Miocic are set to battle for the UFC heavyweight title to cap off UFC 309 on Nov. 16 in New York City. “Bones” puts his belt on the line for the first time since capturing his second divisional title at UFC 285 in March 2023, while Miocic competes for the first time in nearly four years.
During Saturday’s UFC Edmonton event, the UFC released a new promo video hyping up the Jones vs. Miocic championship encounter. Watch the video below.
Miocic seeks his first victory since defeating Daniel Cormier in their trilogy bout at UFC 252 in August 2020. The multi-time heavyweight champion lost the title in his next fight, suffering a brutal knockout at the hands of Francis Ngannou at UFC 260.
Jones makes the walk to the octagon for the just the second time since retaining the light heavyweight title — which he vacated shortly after to move to heavyweight — in a controversial decision against Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in February 2020.
Tracy Cortez vs. Miranda Maverick is off once again, this time due to injury.
Scheduled for UFC on ESPN 63 in Tampa, Fla., Cortez (11-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) has withdrawn from the bout against Maverick (14-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) due to injury. The event takes place Dec. 14 at Amalie Arena.
Two people with knowledge of the situation recently informed MMA Junkie of the change but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Cortez and Maverick were originally scheduled to fight July 20 in Las Vegas. However, when Maycee Barber fell out of a July 13 main event in Denver, Cortez was slotted in against Rose Namajunas.
In her first promotional main event, Cortez lost to Namajunas by unanimous decision. One week later, Maverick defeated fill-in Dione Barbosa by unanimous decision.
While no replacement for Cortez has been locked yet, Maverick is expected to remain on the card against a different opponent.
With the change, the current UFC on ESPN 63 lineup includes:

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon is expected to miss multiple weeks with a strained right calf, two people familiar with the injury told The Associated Press.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the extent of the injury hasn’t been announced. Gordon left Monday’s win over Toronto in the first quarter and didn’t return.
His absence is a blow for a team that’s been without guard Jamal Murray (concussion protocol) for the last two games.
Gordon is averaging 15.4 points and 6.7 rebounds this season while playing 30 minutes a night.
The 29-year-old Gordon signed a four-year, $133 million contract extension just before the start of the season. He was an integral piece when the franchise captured its first NBA championship in 2022-23.
Gordon was originally drafted by Orlando with the fourth overall pick in 2014. He was traded to the Nuggets in March 2021 and has become a fan favorite with his play around the rim and his energizing dunks.
Before the season, Gordon switched jersey numbers to No. 32 in honor his brother, Drew, who died last spring in an auto accident in Oregon.
