UFC newcomer says he can ‘pack out’ Madison Square Garden by himself

Adam Livingston believes he can sell out Madison Square Garden.

Livingston (8-1) opened Week 4 of Dana White’s Contender Series 2026 with a lightweight matchup against Hunter Smith (8-2). Livingston went toe-to-toe in a slugfest against Smith for three rounds. Livingston earned an Ultimate Fighting Championship contract in his second DWCS opportunity.

Adam Livingston targets UFC’s November MSG card after earning his contract on DWCS

Livingston says he wasn’t in his best shape when he came up short in his first DWCS appearance last year. The 25-year-old believes he is gradually coming into his prime now. Livingston also aimed high by calling for a main card opener spot at the UFC’s Madison Square Garden card in November. The New Yorker believes he has enough fans to sell out MSG by himself.

“This is my f*cking time, guys,” Livingston said in his post-fight interview. “I’m 25 years old now, I’m growing into my body, I’m a f*cking man now. Last time I was 23, coming off a f*cking trip; that wasn’t my best performance. You guys got one of the best versions of me today and it’s just the beginning. I’m coming for all you f*cking lightweights… I want MSG in November. I want to open up the main f*cking card. And I will put on a show like that every f*cking time. I’m from New York, I’ll pack out the f*cking place by myself.”
