UFC Paris time: When does Gane v Tuivasa start this weekend in UK and US?

The UFC heads to France for the first time this weekend as fans in Paris prepare to root for the hometown heavyweight in the main event.

Cyril Kane will renew his quest for an undisputed heavyweight title when he takes on Tai Tuasa on Saturday, seven months after losing a unification bout with Francis Naganoo.

Kane held the interim belt from last August until January of this year, with former team-mate Nganno putting on a surprisingly effective display of wrestling to overcome the previously undefeated Frenchman.

Meanwhile, Australian Tuasa last competed in February, knocking out former title challenger Derrick Lewis in spectacular fashion to stretch his winning streak to five fights and continue to move up the rankings.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is that?

UFC Paris takes place on Saturday, September 3.

The preliminary rounds begin at 5pm BST (9am PT, 11am CT, 12pm ET), with the main card following at 8pm BST (12pm PT, 2pm CT, 3pm ET).

How can I see?

The card will be broadcast live on BT Sport in the UK, with the broadcaster’s app and website streaming the fights.

In the US, ESPN+ will broadcast the action live, as will UFC Fight Pass.
