And another said: "Give us info."
It's not yet known, however, who will top the card – although it's expected to be the long-awaited return of former two-division champion Conor McGregor.
The Notorious will be welcomed back to the octagon by fellow fan favourite Michael Chandler, his rival coach on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter.
The fight was announced last February and was expected to headline the promotion's final card of the year in Vegas – UFC 296.
But McGregor's absence from the USADA drug testing pool, which he was required to be in for six months, delayed the fight.
The UFC's partnership with USADA ends on December 31, meaning they could've had their poster boy come back at an earlier date.
But they opted to keep him out of action for as long as he would've required to have been had their partnership been renewed.
Fan favourite McGregor – the UFC's first simultaneous two-weight champion – hasn't set foot inside the octagon since breaking his left leg in his rematch with Dustin Poirier in January 2021.
Chandler, meanwhile, has been out of action since losing his UFC 281 showdown with Poirier last November.
