What time is UFC Fight Night 245 Tonight? Nicolau vs Almabaev - Start times, Schedules, Fight Card

Tonight at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, fight fans will witness Matheus Nicolau from Brazil take on Asu Almabaev from Kazakhstan in a Flyweight bout during UFC Fight Night 245's action-packed undercard. Mega fighters Anthony Hernandez and Michel Pereira headline the main event.

Nicolau, entering with a record marred by loss via knockout to Alex Perez earlier in April this year, looks to bounce back against Almabaev who secured a win by decision against Jose Johnson. Both fighters compete actively in the Flyweight division, standing nearly similar in stats but with slightly varied experiences; Almabaev is just one win ahead of Nicolau. This sets the stage for an unpredictable tussle between Nicolau’s resolve to overturn his recent defeat and Almabaev’s drive to prolong his victory string.
