The UFC is at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, for tonight’s UFC 303 pay-per-view card. In the main event of the fight card, UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira looks to defend his title against former champion Jiri Prochazka in a rematch. In the evening’s co-headlining contest, two-time UFC featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega faces the rising Diego Lopes in a lightweight scrap.
The main card for UFC 303 streams on ESPN+ PPV following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ESPN+.
Pereira is the defending light heavyweight champion, while Prochazka is the No. 1 fighter in the official UFC light heavyweight rankings. Both men last fought at UFC 300 in April. Pereira defeated former UFC champ Jamahal Hill by knockout on that card, while Prochazka knocked out Aleksandar Rakic.
Pereira, a former UFC middleweight champion, claimed the vacant light heavyweight crown in November 2023, when he knocked out Prochazka in their first meeting. That fight took place at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden. Pereira won a “Performance of the Night” bonus for his efforts in that outing.
The co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 303 fight card is a short-notice featherweight scrap turned lightweight matchup between two-time title challenger Brian Ortega and the fast-rising Diego Lopes. The promotion moved the fight to 155 pounds on weigh-in day when Ortega informed the parties involved that he would not be able to make the 145-pound featherweight limit or reach a 150-pound catchweight mark.
Also on the main card of UFC 303 is an important welterweight matchup between the undefeated Ian Machado Garry and veteran Michael “Venom” Page. The winner of that contest could find themselves in a potential title eliminator in their next trip to the Octagon.
UFC 303 results, winners and losers will be updated live throughout tonight’s pay-per-view card.
