One of the biggest fight cards of the year will unfold later tonight (Sat., July 2, 2022) at UFC 276 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be headlined by a middleweight title fight between current UFC champion Israel Adesanya and top contender Jared Cannonier, while a trilogy fight between UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and former division king Max Holloway will serve as the co-main event.
But before the two title fights play out live from “Sin City” a collection of fights will set the Octagon ablaze at UFC 276. From a bantamweight clash between Sean O’Malley and Pedro Munhoz to a welterweight meeting featuring UFC legends Donald Cerrone and Jim Miller, UFC 276 is absolutely stacked from top to bottom.
We will compile the best of the best below — with all video footage courtesy of UFC and ESPN — and will continue to share the action as it rolls in. Enjoy!
