The pay-per-view main card begins at 10 p.m., with prelims taking place on UFC Fight Pass at 6 p.m. and FX at 8 p.m. Live streams of the prelims will be available, and the main card can be ordered online via UFC.TV and various UFC apps on phones, tablets, and other smart devices.
Stipe Miocic will defend his heavyweight title against Junior dos Santos, a man who beat him in 2014 when neither held the strap. Joanna Jędrzejczyk will make her fifth defense of her strawweight title in the co-main event, taking on Jéssica Andrade.
Miocic is making his second title defense after knocking out Alistair Overeem at UFC 203. Dos Santos won a unanimous decision over Miocic in a fight-of-the-night performance in December 2014, but since then he’s alternated wins and losses. His last fight was a decision win over Ben Rothwell in April 2016.
Outside of the title picture, there are some big matches on the main card. Demian Maia is riding a hot streak, including six consecutive wins with three finishes. He’ll take on Jorge Masvidal in welterweight action. Masvidal is riding high after a shocking knockout of fan favorite Donald Cerrone in January.
At featherweight, Frankie Edgar will take on Yair Rodriguez. Edgar is a former champion and beat Jeremy Stephens in his last fight. Rodriguez is 10-1 as a pro and scored a TKO of legend (but well past his prime) B.J. Penn in his last fight in January.
One of the biggest fights on the card will be free on FX, as a lightweight showdown between Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier will headline the preliminary card. Alvarez is fresh off a loss to Conor McGregor for his lightweight championship, while Poirier beat Jim Miller in his last outing.
Below is the full fight card for Saturday and all the viewing information you need to catch the action.
