If you already have Sky, you can add TNT access for an extra £28 a month.
This also means you can watch it from your phone, tablet, computer or smart TV, giving you the option to watch while you’re on the go or even on your morning commute.
Who will be fighting at UFC 304?
There are a number of fights taking place in the famous Octagon at the UFC event. And there’s even a hometown fighter, with Manchester-born Tom Aspinall taking on American Curtis Blaydes as part of the co-event.

They will be duking it out for Aspinall's UFC interim heavyweight title and given that Aspinall was forced to withdraw due to a knee injury the last time they fought in 2022, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top this time and if Aspinall’s hometown advantage comes into play.
Fellow Brit Leon Edward will also fight it out against American MMA fighter Belal Muhammad as part of the co-event.
With Edwards and Muhammad both on impressive winning streaks at the moment – Edwards has won his last 13 fights and Muhammad came out on top the last 10 times he stepped into the ring – only one can take home the UFC welterweight title.

Three additional fights make up the main card of UFC 304. There’s American Bobby Green taking on England’s Paddy Pimblett in a Lightweight bout, while Muhammad Mokaev will go up against Manel Kape in the Flyweight division. And finally Brit Arnold Allen will go toe to toe against Georgian Giga Chikadze in a Featherweight fight.
What time does UFC 304 start?
Even though the fight is taking place in the UK, it will still follow American timings.
This means that while it will start at 10.00pm on the Saturday night in the US, it has a start time of 3.00am on the Sunday morning for British viewers.

At the moment exact timings - other than the event start time - have not been confirmed.
