Join us today (Saturday, May 18th) on Bloody Elbow for live results, discussion, round scoring and play-by-play (for the main card) as UFC on ESPN+ 10: Dos Anjos vs. Lee takes place in the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York.
The top of the billing will see the UFC’s former lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos look to avoid a three-fight losing skid when he welcomes the promotion’s #7 ranked lightweight, Kevin Lee, up to 170-pounds. Before that in the co-main event, Brazilian submission artist and #12 ranked middleweight, Antonio Carlos Junior, will be on the hunt for his sixth straight victory as he takes on the relatively untested and unranked Ian Heinisch. “Shoeface’ has finished four out of his last five by way of rear-naked choke.
Today’s event is in the United States, so it’s on at a standard time in North America. The seven-fight preliminary card kicks off at 5pm ET/2pm PT on ESPN+. The six-fight main card, for which play-by-play will be provided, is scheduled to start at 8pm ET/5pm PT in the same place.
