UFC 211: Start time, TV schedule for Miocic vs. dos Santos

Two championships will be on the line on Saturday for UFC 211 from the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Stipe Miocic will defend his heavyweight championship against Junior dos Santos, a man who beat him in 2014 when no belts were on the line, in the main event.

Saturday’s card is set to get underway at 6 p.m. ET with the UFC Fight Pass prelims. FX will pick up coverage at 8 p.m. for the remainder of the preliminary card and finally, the pay-per-view begins at 10 p.m. A live stream will be available via UFC.TV, Fight Pass, the UFC YouTube channel, and most UFC apps on various connected smart devices. Streaming the main card will require the same fee as ordering the PPV on television.

In the co-main event, Joanna Jędrzejczyk will defend the women’s strawweight championship against Jéssica Andrade.

Miocic won the title when he knocked out Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198 in May 2016 and successfully defended it when he knocked out Alistair Overeem in September at UFC 203.

Dos Santos has struggled in recent years, going 3-3 over his past six fights, but that includes a fight-of-the-night performance in a unanimous decision win over Miocic in 2014. He won a unanimous decision over Ben Rothwell in his last fight but hasn’t looked like himself since a loss to Cain Velasquez in 2012.

Jędrzejczyk has looked great since joining the UFC and defended her title four times, the last being a unanimous decision win over Karolina Kowalkiewicz in November 2016. She is 13-0 as a professional mixed martial artist.

Andrade has won her last three fights since moving to strawweight, following a submission loss to Raquel Pennington at UFC 191. Her last fight was a decision win over Angela Hill in February.

The main card has three good fights outside of the title bouts. Demian Maia will face Jorge Masvidal at welterweight, while former champion Frankie Edgar will take on Yair Rodriguez at featherweight. The main card will launch with a flyweight bout between Henry Cejudo and Sergio Pettis.

The preliminary card is headlined by an excellent fight between lightweights Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier.

Below is all you need to know to watch Saturday’s action, and below that is the full official fight card.
