When is UFC 254: Khabib v Gaethje? Schedule, card, UK TV channel, start times

Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov and American Justin Gaethje headline UFC 254 in late October.

The event will take place at the Flash Forum on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, October 24. It will be broadcast here in the UK on BT Sport.

Kicking off at 10pm local time, fans here in the UK will be able to enjoy the action at a changed and more reasonable time of 7pm GMT.

Elsewhere, a middleweight bout between Robert Whittaker and Jared Cannonier has been rescheduled for this event.

In what could turn out to be a good night for Russian fighting, Khabib's cousin Umar is also on the card and featherweight Zabit Magomedsharipov squares up against Yair Rodriguez.

The fight has been delayed twice before - originally booked for UFC 228 and UFC Fight Night in August - due to Rodriguez' injury problems.

What UK TV channel is UFC 254 on?

UFC 254 will be shown here in the UK BT Sport 1.
