The biggest event in the history of mixed martial arts (MMA) and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is closer than ever before. When the mega promotion touches down later tonight (Sat., Nov. 12, 2016) for UFC 205 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, years of lobbying to legalize MMA in the biggest sports entertainment market in the world will come full circle. UFC will put on the biggest show it ever has, including a three title fight main card headlined by a lightweight championship meeting between 155-pound king Eddie Alvarez and current featherweight champion Conor McGregor, and the great fans of New York City will get the best early Christmas gift anyone could ask for.
But before the titanic PPV card gets underway, the preliminary portion of UFC 205 is set to go down on FOX Sports 1 and Fight Pass. Scroll down a little further to find out when and where you can catch the "Prelims" action.
