The UFC will close out 2017 in grand fashion, as the Women’s Featherweight Championship will be on the line in the main event of UFC 219: Cyborg vs. Holm. Cris Cyborg will be defending her belt against Holly Holm, the woman who made her name by knocking out Ronda Rousey back in 2015.
UFC 219 live stream: How to watch Cyborg vs. Holm online
The final UFC event of the year is just about here, and we have all you need to know to watch it.
Saturday’s action begins at 7:30 p.m. ET with the UFC Fight Pass prelims, continues at 8 p.m. with the Fox Sports 1 prelims broadcast (live streaming via Fox Sports GO) and concludes with the pay-per-view main card at 10 p.m. Other ways to stream the action can be found below.
In addition to Holm and Cyborg, the main card will feature a title eliminator between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Edson Barboza in the lightweight division. It’s unclear where Conor McGregor is going at this point, but the winner of that bout should face him or interim champion Tony Ferguson.
Holm hit a rough patch after ruining Rousey’s undefeated streak (and Rousey’s future matchup with Cyborg, as it happens), with losses in three consecutive bouts. She lost to the best the promotion has to offer though, falling to Miesha Tate, Valentina Shevchenko and Germaine de Randamie.
In her last outing, Holm scored a knockout victory over Bethe Correia to set up this fight with Cyborg. Cyborg herself is coming off eight consecutive knockout victories, with the last being a TKO of Tonya Evinger in the third round of their July 2017 bout.
Nurmagomedov is 24-0 as a professional mixed martial artist, with big wins over guys like Rafael dos Anjos, Michael Johnson and Thiago Tavares. His last bout was the win over Johnson, which wasn’t even competitive for most of the bout, and ended with a kimura submission for Nurmagomedov.
Barboza is the underdog, but he himself is coming off three straight wins, including unanimous decisions over Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez, as well as a knockout over Beneil Dariush.
