This colossal clash between two former champions is scheduled as the most highly anticipated main event of the night, set to be held at T-Mobile Arena in the state of Nevada, USA. The Irish star, known by his fans as 'Notorious', is expected to finally return to the octagon after a long octagon absence of nearly five years.

MMA fans in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay will be able to follow the event at 19.00 and 22.00. Considering overseas nations and the European continent, it was noted that viewers in Spain will have to adjust their sleep to quite late hours, specifically midnight at 00.00 and 03.00 in the early morning, to be able to watch the clash.

This colossal organizations event is not just about the main matchup; it also presents a very comprehensive and star-studded card bringing together world-renowned fighters with unique talents from various weight classes. Just before the actual rematch, which will take place in the welterweight division, a fierce lightweight bout will take place between fan-favorite Paddy Pimblett and the dangerous Benoit Saint Denis.
