UFC 286 on TV: UK time, live stream, TV and fight card
Your complete guide to UFC 286 including start time, fight card and TV coverage details.
UFC 286 is ready to explode with the first UFC pay-per-view event in Britain for seven years.
Leon Edwards will face Kamaru Usman for the third time in one of the biggest UFC showdowns on the east side of the Atlantic.
The event will go down at the O2 Arena in London in front of a packed audience who will see Edwards and Usman enter the octagon on the same night as Justin Gaethje, Gunnar Nelson and Jennifer Maia.
Edwards first encountered – and was defeated by – Usman on the card at UFC on Fox: Dos Anjos vs Cowboy 2 in 2015.
However, Edwards finally exacted revenge in August 2022 to claim the UFC Welterweight title after defeating Usman at UFC 278.
The pair will complete their trilogy fight with the belt firmly on the line and plenty of hungry UK fans desperate to see a classic unfold before their eyes.
