The UFC invades the United Center in Chicago on Saturday night for a jam-packed fight card featuring reigning middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis defending his title against undefeated challenger Khamzat Chimaev in the main event.
The main card will be on ESPN+ pay-per-view starting at 10 p.m. ET, with prelims on ESPN, ESPN+ and Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET and early prelims beginning at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+ and Disney+ before transitioning to ESPN at 7 p.m. ET.
Du Plessis (23-2-0) will defend his crown for the second time this year after defeating Sean Strickland in a unanimous decision at UFC 312 in February. The 31-year-old titleholder from South Africa initially snatched the belt from Strickland at the top of 2024.
Du Plessis has a tough task ahead of him in Chimaev (14-0-0). The fellow 31-year-old has achieved victory by submission in three of his past five bouts. The title showdown in the Windy City will mark Chimaev's first fight of 2025.
