The UFC is in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend for the 276 pay-per-view that will see champion Israel Adesanya defend his title against Jared Cannonier in the headline match of a packed card.
For UK fans keen to see the action live, the preliminary card will start at 1am on Sunday (July 3) with the main card set to begin around 3am and Adesanya vs Cannonier expected around 5am.
Adesanya's middleweight crown is on the line in a match that, if the trash talking build-up is anything to go by, looks set to be an entertaining barnstormer of a bout. But that's just one of the matches set to take place in the Octagon as part of a strong card.
The second main event will see UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovksi versus Max Holloway in a long-awaited trilogy fight that sees the challenger already down 2-0 in two very closely fought battles. Will the Aussie champion make it a clean sweep or will Holloway finally sneak a win having lost by decision and split decision in their first two meetings?
Elsewhere on the main card Sean Strickland will take on Alex Pereira in a Middleweight match, Bantamweights Pedro Munhoz Sean O’Malley face off and Welterweights Robbie Lawler vs Bryan Barberena finish the line up.
