The UFC is gearing up for an electrifying event this weekend with UFC 299, headlined by Sean O’Malley defending his bantamweight title against Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera. This rematch is particularly intriguing as Vera has previously defeated O’Malley, marking O’Malley’s only loss. The event holds additional interest as O’Malley comes off a title-winning knockout against Aljamain Sterling.

In the co-main event, Dustin Poirier, a former interim champion, is set to battle it out with French prospect Benoit Saint-Denis in a lightweight bout, promising five rounds of intense action. The card also features the much-anticipated UFC debut of Michael “Venom” Page, who will face Kevin Holland in a welterweight bout.

UFC 299 will take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. The main card is scheduled to start at 3am GMT on Sunday. UK fans can watch the event on TNT Sports or Discovery+, while viewers in the US have the option of ESPN+ or the UFC’s Fight Pass. The odds currently favor O’Malley at 2/5 against Vera at 2/1, setting the stage for a must-watch showdown.
