ESPN to air 11 straight hours of UFC content – Conor McGregor, Jon Jones highlighted

Thirsty for UFC content? ESPN will help alleviate that issue with a marathon of classic fights Saturday.

Dubbed as “UFC Day,” a total of 11 consecutive hours of UFC content is set to air, highlighting star names such as Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, Jon Jones and more.

It all begins at 12 p.m. ET, starting with the top four fights from the “UFC 25 Greatest Fights” collection, and concluding with a UFC 244 preliminary and main card replay, an event which saw Masvidal beat Diaz in the main event at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Check out the full schedule below (via Twitter):

Saturday was originally planned feature UFC on ESPN+ 29 from The O2 in London, but the ongoing coronavirus outbreak had caused the promotion to cancel its next three events, following suit of many other sports.

The lack of live sports opens up the ESPN schedule, though, and the network is filling the void by featuring some all-time great bouts that have never aired on the platform.
