UFC 276 time: When does Adesanya vs Cannonier start in the UK and US tonight?
A stacked UFC card will round off International Fight Week on Saturday, as two championship contests play out at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
In the headline bout of UFC 276, Jared Cannonier (15-5) will look to end Israel Adesanya’s dominant run as middleweight champion. Adesanya (22-1) most recently secured a fourth consecutive successful defence of the belt, narrowly outpointing Robert Whittaker in February for a second win against the man he dethroned in 2019.

Earlier in the night, American Cannonier brutally stopped Derek Brunson with a series of elbows to firmly establish himself as No 1 contender to Nigerian-born New Zealander Adesanya. Cannonier, who has previously fought at heavyweight and light heavyweight, has carried his vicious knockout power down to middleweight, where he has gone 5-1 with four stoppage wins.
In the co-main event of UFC 276, Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway square off for the featherweight belt for the third time. Australian Volkanovski (24-1) is on a remarkable 21-fight win streak and has already beaten Holloway twice via decision – once in 2019 to win the gold, then controversially in 2020 to retain it. Hawaiian Holloway (23-6) has impressed since those back-to-back defeats, however, and he attempts to regain the title here.
