UFC 250: What time does it start in the UK?

The UFC continues to push on with events while the rest of the sporting world recovers amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, with UFC 250 taking place on Saturday 6 June in Las Vegas.

This weekend’s card sees the promotion operating out of their Apex Facility for the second week in a row, and is headlined by a women’s featherweight title clash between two-weight champion Amanda Nunes and challenger Felicia Spencer.

There will also be three men’s bantamweight fights that are all likely to greatly affect the landscape of the division.

Former 135lbs titleholder Cody Garbrandt looks to regain control of his career after suffering three consecutive knockout losses, but faces a stern test in veteran Raphael Assuncao.

Meanwhile, Aljamain Sterling and Cory Sandhagen square off in what is essentially a No. 1 contender’s bout, and rising star ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley takes on the experienced Eddie Wineland.
