Date: Saturday November 12th
Times: Fight Pass Prelims (11:30pm, Fight Pass), Prelims (1am, Fight Pass and BT Sport), Main Card (3am, BT Sport)
Venue: Madison Square Garden, New York
Odds: Alvarez (29/20) v McGregor (4/6)
Other events: Open Workouts (Wednesday 9th November, 3pm GMT), Press Conference (Thursday 10th November, 8pm GMT), Weigh-Ins (Friday 11th November, 11pm GMT).
What time will the McGregor fight be on?
It's difficult to give a precise time, but with 6 fights on the main card including 3 title fights, it is likely that Alvarez v McGregor will start at around 6am. However, the McGregor v Diaz 2 fight started 15 minutes earlier than expected so I would be tuning in around 5:30am to be safe.
How can I watch the event?
Fight Pass Prelims (the first 3 fights of the night) are live on Fight Pass (free trial for new users or €7.99 a month. Subscribe
here, just don't forget to cancel if you don't want to continue to be billed!). Fight Pass will also get you the Prelims live (the next 4 fights before the main card), while the Prelims are also broadcast on BT Sport.
Since August, the only legal way to view the main card of UFC events live now is to have access to BT Sport. Virgin Media customers no longer have access to BT Sport which was well documented in the summer.
