When and Where To Watch UFC 263: Date, Timing and More

UFC 263 event will take place June 12, 2021, at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, United States. It will be the third event this year to feature a live crowd after the Covid-19 pandemic. The event will be the second that the promotion will contest in Glendale, following UFC on Fox: Poirier vs. Gaethje in April 2018.

Israel Adesanya vs Marvin Vettori 2 will headline the event and will fight for the UFC Middleweight championship. Their earlier battle had taken place at UFC on Fox: Poirier vs. Gaethje, where Adesanya won via split decision.

The co-main event will feature a UFC Flyweight Championship rematch between the champ Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno. Their last battle ended in a majority draw at UFC 256 in December last year.

The main card will also feature a highly anticipated welterweight clash between Nate Diaz and Leon Edwards. The duo was initially scheduled for a face-off at UFC 262 before a minor injury to Diaz postponed their clash to this event.

The fight will be a 5 round affair, which will be the first time in UFC that a non-title clash other than the main event is scheduled for five rounds.
