UFC 311 goes down Saturday night with two championship fights atop the bill, and before the fights get underway, Farah Hannoun will host a live-streamed preview show right here at 5 p.m. ET.
In the headliner, an unexpected lightweight title fight between champ Islam Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) and Renato Moicano (20-5-1 MMA, 12-5 UFC) will take place after original challenger Arman Tsarukyan was forced to withdraw because of a back injury on weigh-ins day in a dramatic turn of events. In the co-feature, bantamweight champ Merab Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) is an underdog in his first title defense against Makhachev’s teammate, unbeaten Umar Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).
UFC 311 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+) takes place Saturday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
