UFC Fight Night will take place on Saturday, Dec 3, live from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. There are a total of 15 bouts on the night between the prelims and the main card. The main card will begin at 10:00 p.m. ET and air on ESPN and ESPN +. The main event of the evening will feature a welterweight bout between No. 6 Stephen Thompson and Kevin Holland.
Outside of the main event, there are five other bouts on the main card for UFC Fight Night. The best of the bunch is a heavyweight bout between Tai Tuivasa and Sergei Pavlovich, who are both vying for a shot at the heavyweight title. Both guys are contenders, but Pavlovich is 4-1 since joining the UFC and could be closing in on an opportunity soon.
