UFC 299 full card: O'Malley vs Vera 2 start time, UK channel, live stream, latest odds

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is in Miami, Florida this weekend for UFC 299.

A bantamweight championship clash between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera headlines another stacked card in which Dustin Poirier and Benoit Sant Denis battle for the lightweight title.

‘Sugar Sean’ defends his crown for the first time since winning the belt by way of knockout against Aljamain Sterling in August. Vera, however, is the only man to have beaten O’Malley to date, winning by TKO in 2020.

Curtis Blaydes and Jailton Almeida will also finally meet inside the octagon, months after Blaydes was forced to pull out of their initial bout scheduled back in November.
