The UFC’s second pay-per-view of the year takes place Saturday with UFC 247, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.
UFC 247 takes place Saturday at Toyota Center in Houston. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
In the main event, Jon Jones (25-1 MMA, 19-1 UFC) defends his UFC light heavyweight title against Dominick Reyes (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC). In the co-feature, Valentina Shevchenko (18-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) defends her flyweight title against Katlyn Chookagian (13-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC).
