Tukhugov vs. Brener: Fight time, live online stream, predictions, how to watch UFC 284 bout

The UFC 284 early preliminary card begins with a pair of lightweights, Zubaira Tukhugov and Elves Brener facing off at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. This portion of the card is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. ET and will be streamed on UFC Fight Pass. Later on in the day, a main event showdown between lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski caps the card.

Tukhugov (20-1) is a good all-around fighter who slows down the pace and can play the long game. While he doesn't have a particular strength, he seems to have a solid jab and can land some good strikes. In his last win, he defeated Ricardo Ramos by unanimous decision in October 2021.

Brener (13-3) is a Brazilian submission artist, who has won two fights in a row. Brener is not afraid to mix it up and like all young fighters making their UFC debuts will be ready to put on a show. His bread and butter comes on the mat, as he will look to tangle and submit Tukhugov and pull off an upset.
