Saturday’s main card gets underway at 10 p.m. ET, with UFC Fight Pass preliminaries beginning at 6 p.m. At 8 p.m., FX will have four preliminary bouts as well.
Online streaming of the prelims can be found via fuboTV, UFC Fight Pass, and Fox Sports GO. Live streaming of the pay-per-view can be had via the UFC directly at UFC.TV and their YouTube channel.
In the co-feature, Ronaldo Souza will take on Kelvin Gastelum, who is coming off a knockout victory over Michael Bisping. Souza is coming off a knockout win of his own, over Derek Brunson, and both fighters are 3-1 over their last four, though Gastelum had his win over Vitor Belfort overturned due to a positive test for marijuana.
Nunes is 15-4 as a pro, with four finishes in her last six bouts, all wins. She won her title with a submission win over Miesha Tate in July 2016, and earned a TKO victory over Ronda Rousey in her first defense. She also won a split decision over Valentine Shevchenko in her last outing, and is looking for her fourth-consecutive title defense.
Pennington is 9-5, with wins in her last four bouts, all of which were decisions save for the September 2015 submission over Jéssica Andrade. She hasn’t fought since a decision win over Tate in November 2016.
