UFC 286 play-by-play and live results (1 p.m. ET)
LONDON – UFC 286 takes place Saturday, and you can join us for live play-by-play and official results.
UFC 286 takes place at The O2 in London. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and early prelims on ESPN+.
In the main event, welterweight champion Leon Edwards (20-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) puts his title on the line for the first time against former champ Kamaru Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC), whom he knocked out with a dramatic fifth-round head kick this past August. Their fight is a trilogy and is knotted at 1-1 – but this time, the stakes are their highest yet.
Plus, Rafael Fiziev (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) takes on former interim lightweight titleholder Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in the co-main event. The two have 15 combined post-fight bonuses in 17 combined UFC fights.
Follow along with our round-by-round updates and official results beginning at approximately 12:30 p.m. ET for the early prelims on ESPN+, 3 p.m. for the prelims on ESPNews and 5 p.m. ET for the main card on pay-per-view.
