The first UFC event of 2023 is here and will take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sean Strickland is stepping in on short notice to replace Kelvin Gastelum, who was supposed to take on Nassourdine Imavov. Strickland headlined the final event of 2022 and is returning in under a month since his loss to Jared Cannonier. The card has a few exciting stand-up fights and features some young, up-and-coming prospects trying to make a name for themselves. The prelims will start at 4 p.m. EST on ESPN+, and the main event will start three hours later at 7 p.m.
