The UFC has gone from strength to strength, staging over 700 events since its introduction to the world with UFC1 in November 1993.

The MMA promotion has whipped up mega audiences, thrilling drama and huge controversy – inside and outside the Octagon – over the years, and it continues to do so.

Colourful characters have come and gone (or, in the case of Conor McGregor, come and gone, then come and gone, then come and gone again), but interest remains at an all-time high as the main event series has cruised past the 300 milestone.

On Saturday, Justin Burlinson defends his welterweight title against Scotland’s Sean Clancy Jr. in Glasgow.

While in the early hours of Sunday morning, Aljamain Sterling v Youssef Zalal tops the bill at UFC Fight Night

TNT Sports and HBO Max boast UK TV rights for the majority of UFC events, with occasional events to be shown live on Sky Sports, DAZN, and UFC Fight Pass.

Radio Times brings you a round-up of live UFC on TV tonight and coming up.
