UFC Fight Night: de Ridder vs. Allen (also known as UFC Fight Night 262 and UFC on ESPN+ 120) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on October 18, 2025, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The event will mark the promotion's seventh visit to Vancouver and first since UFC 289 in June 2023.

A middleweight bout between former ONE Middleweight and Light Heavyweight World Champion Reinier de Ridder and former LFA Middleweight Champion Anthony Hernandez was scheduled to headline the event. However, Hernandez was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by fellow former LFA Middleweight Champion Brendan Allen.

A bantamweight bout between former UFC Bantamweight Championship challenger Umar Nurmagomedov and Mario Bautista was reportedly scheduled to headline the event. However, for unknown reasons, the bout was moved to UFC 321 one week later.

A middleweight bout between former LFA Middleweight Champion Azamat Bekoev and promotional newcomer Yousri Belgaroui is scheduled for this event. They were initially scheduled to compete at UFC on ESPN: Taira vs. Park in August but the bout was postponed to this event as a result of Belgaroui not being able to get a visa in time.
