As a reminder, the UFC’s traditional pre-event show returns today with the debut of “Countdown to UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey” on FS1.
The one-hour special previews the card’s headlining bout between UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes (13-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and challenger and former champ Ronda Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC).
Nunes puts her belt on the line for the first time, and Rousey returns for the first time since losing the title to Holly Holm in a massive upset at UFC 193 more than a year ago. Since that loss, the belt has been in the hands of Holm, Miesha Tate, and now Nunes.
In UFC 207’s co-main event, bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (22-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) defends his title against the unbeaten Cody Garbrandt (10-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC).
“Countdown” airs at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT) on FS1, and replays air throughout the week.
UFC 207 takes place Friday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
The full UFC 207 card includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (FS1, 8 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 7 p.m. ET)
