The main card will be brought to fans on ABC for the first time at 3 pm ET. It will also stream on ESPN+. Furthermore, the prelims, billed as the ESPN+ prelims, will start at 12 pm ET. The UFC hasn’t been on network television since the Fox era that expired in late December 2018.
The fights on Fight Island 7 have plenty to offer other than just a stellar main event. The co-main event for the card sees veterans Carlos Condit and Matt Brown finally square off. The two have been in talks to scrap for several years, and it’s finally coming to fruition.
