Check back in here to see what’s happening on the UFC Vegas 71: Pavlovich vs. Blaydes, which is transpiring from the familiar APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. Start time is 4:30pm ET.
The event’s marquee matchup will involve top-5 heavyweights when the #3 ranked, Sergei Pavlovich, meets the #4 ranked, Curtis Blaydes. Pavlovich has been on quite the mean streak as of late, but now he has one of the very best wrestlers in the division standing across from him.
The co-main event of the evening has longtime UFC middleweight Brad Tavares taking on fellow striker, Bruno Silva. Also on the undercard, the always-entertaining Bobby Green mixes it up with the ever-tough Jared Gordon.
The prelims begin at 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT, immediately followed by the regular main card at 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT. Both broadcasts can be streamed on ESPN+.
