This weekend the UFC is back at the APEX facility with UFC Vegas 23: Vettori vs. Holland. The fight was originally planned to feature Darren Till in the main event taking on Marvin Vettori, but Till had to withdraw due to a collarbone injury. Replacing Till is Kevin Holland, fresh from his loss to Derek Brunson last month.
Also on the card Sodiq Yusuff meets Arnold Allen and Nina Nunes (nee Ansaroff) faces Mackenzie Dern.
Note the odd start time for the event. The Early Prelims start at 11:30 AM ET on Saturday and the main card goes at 3 PM ET. The timing was likely scheduled this was when there were two Europeans expected in the main event. For US viewers, both portions of the show are available on ESPN+, with the main card also appearing on ABC.
You can see the weigh-ins right here on Bloody Elbow with a live stream that begins at 12 PM ET. Video is provided by AG Fight.
