The upcoming UFC Vegas 68 card on Feb. 4 will take place at the UFC APEX but the start times for the event will be much later than the average cards happening in the United States.
The event headlined by a heavyweight clash between Derrick Lewis and Sergei Spivak will feature a main card start time at 1 a.m. EST/ 10 p.m. PST with the prelims kicking off at 10 p.m. EST/ 7 p.m. PST. UFC officials confirmed the start times with MMA Fighting on Saturday following an initial report from MMA Ecosystem on Twitter. The reason behind the strange start time comes down to the event originally being scheduled to take place in Seoul, South Korea. Unfortunately plans to return to South Korea were nixed after “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung suffered an injury that left him unable to compete in February. Without Jung available, the UFC opted to shift gears to put Lewis vs. Spivak in the main event but the card will still feature a number of South Korean fighters including the return of “The Korean Superboy” Doo Ho Choi. As a result, the UFC will still accommodate a start time that will allow fans from around Asia to watch the card. In South Korea, the UFC Vegas 68 card will start at 12 p.m. local time for the prelims and 3 p.m. for the main card. The UFC hasn’t finalized the bout order yet so it’s unknown at this time if the main card will feature five or six fights but the start time will definitely be later than usual in the U.S. Lewis vs. Spivak was a fight that was originally scheduled to take place in November but the heavyweight bout was scrapped on the day of the event after Lewis suffered an illness that left him unable to compete. Now the heavyweights will meet in February instead with the card set for the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight rivals Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno will collide once more this weekend (Sat., Jan. 21, 2023) at UFC 283 inside Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Figgy vs. “Assassin Baby” saga continues. Is this the last chapter? It certainly appears to be the last consecutive one at a minimum. The duo currently stand all tied up opposite one another, as both have scored a single victory alongside their initial draw. Moreno, at least, fought Kai Kara-France in his last outing, but this will be Figueiredo’s fourth straight match up against Moreno. One way or another, the Flyweight division must move forward, and the titles have to unify. Let’s take a closer look at the keys to victory for each man: Ver ufc, UFC 283 online en directo gratis UFC 283 TEIXEIRA VS HILL - HORARIO ESPAÑA El UFC 283 tendrá lugar en la madrugada del sábado 21 al domingo 2 de enero. Los horarios en España del Glover Teixeira vs Jamahal Hill y el coestelar el Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno son los siguientes: cartel previo preliminar desde las 00:00 horas, cartel preliminar desde las 02:00 horas (Eurosport conectará a las 02:00) y cartel principal desde las 04:00 horas (peninsulares). Deiveson Figueiredo Record: 21-2-1 Key Wins: Brandon Moreno (UFC 270), Joseph Benavidez (UFC Fight Island 2, UFC Fight Night 169), Alex Perez (UFC 255), Alexandre Pantoja (UFC 240), John Moraga (UFC Fight Night 135), Tim Elliott (UFC Fight Night 161) Key Losses: Brandon Moreno (UFC 263), Jussier Formiga (UFC Fight Night 148) Keys to Victory: Figueiredo really has it all. He’s a tremendous athlete, strong and fast for 125 pounds. The Brazilian has several great weapons on the feet that can produce instant finishes, he can wrestle quite well, and his jiu-jitsu is downright nasty. In his last bout with Moreno, he also proved he can follow a game plan, which was really the missing piece in being a complete fighter. Brandon Moreno Record: 20-6-1 Key Wins: Deiveson Figueiredo (UFC 263), Kai Kara-France (UFC 277), Jussier Formiga (UFC Fight Night 170), Dustin Ortiz (UFC Fight Night 108), Brandon Royval (UFC 255), Kai Kara-France (UFC 245) Key Losses: Deiveson Figueiredo (UFC 270), Sergio Pettis (UFC Fight Night 114), Alexandre Pantoja (UFC Fight Night 129) Keys to Victory: Moreno isn’t quite the unbelievable athletic talent of his opponent. However, he is a hugely opportunistic and experienced finisher, and he has the best jab in the division. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight veterans Gilbert Burns and Neil Magny will go to war this weekend (Sat., Jan. 21, 2023) at UFC 283 inside Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
It’s been about nine months since Burns went to war with Khamzat Chimaev, testing the mega prospect more than any foe previously or since. Despite undoubtedly putting forth a strong performance, the loss does leave Burns another step away from the title. This bout against Magny is an opportunity for the former title challenger to rebound and get back in the mix. Conversely, Magny’s willingness to fight all comers has once again earned him a big opportunity. When Burns’ more marquee potential foe Jorge Masvidal failed to sign the contract, Magny jumped at the chance to step into the cage with another Top Five opponent. LIVE! Watch UFC 283 PPV On ESPN+ Here! UFC’s 2023 PPV DEBUT! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) kicks off its New Year pay-per-view (PPV) campaign on Sat., Jan. 21, 2023, with a battle for the vacant Light Heavyweight crown between former champion and No. 2-ranked contender, Glover Teixeira, looking to stop the momentum of surging No. 7-seeded up-and-comer, Jamahal Hill. In the co-main event of UFC 283, which will take place inside Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the greatest rivalries in promotional history resumes as Flyweight kingpin, Deiveson Figueiredo, battles interim belt keeper, Brandon Moreno, for a fourth (and likely final) time. Gilbert Burns Record: 20-5 Key Wins: Stephen Thompson (UFC 264), Tyron Woodley (UFC on ESPN 9), Demian Maia (UFC Fight Night 170), Gunnar Nelson (UFC Fight Night 160), Alexey Kunchenko (UFC Fight Night 156), Alex Oliveira (UFC Fight Night 62), Olivier Aubin-Mercier (UFC 231) Key Losses: Kamaru Usman (UFC 258), Khamzat Chimaev (UFC 273), Dan Hooker (UFC 226), Michel Prazeres (UFC Fight Night 95) Keys to Victory: It’s kind of shocking to consider the Burns is a former Lightweight consider how much of a powerhouse he is at 170 lbs. The Brazilian has massive power in his hands, a world-class jiu-jitsu game, and the physicality to force most opponents to the canvas. Neil Magny Record: 26-9 Key Wins: Kelvin Gastelum (UFC Fight Night 78), Johny Hendricks (UFC 207), Hector Lombard (UFC Fight Night 85), Carlos Condit (UFC 219), Geoff Neal (UFC Vegas 26), Li Jingliang (UFC 248), Daniel Rodriguez (UFC Vegas 64) Key Losses: Shavkat Rakhmonov (UFC Vegas 57), Santiago Ponzinibbio (UFC Fight Night 140), Michael Chiesa (UFC Fight Island 8), Demian Maia (UFC 190), Rafael dos Anjos (UFC 215) Keys to Victory: Magny has been there and done that. He’s fought through generations of top-notch Welterweights, maximizing his success through consistency and cardio. I don’t see anywhere Magny wins this fight but the clinch. He cannot survive beneath the grappler, nor he can trade shots with the much harder hitter. If Magny changes levels to wrestle, he’s likely getting his neck snatched up. No, the upper body clinch is Magny’s safe haven. He does exceptional work, mixing together trip takedowns, knees, and dirty boxing. Magny’s clinch is like a sinkhole — even talented fighters can really struggle to separate from “The Haitian Sensation” once he clamps down |
