Join us Saturday, September 10th, 2022, for a LIVE ‘radio style’ play-by-play ‘watch party’ in the player above of the UFC 279 PPV (pay-per-view) MAIN CARD, with LIVE updates, commentary, results & reactions; which will begin at 10/7PM ETPT, around the start of the Main Card opener between Light Heavyweights, Johnny Walker vs Ion Cutelaba. The event is being simulcast in English & Spanish on ESPN+ from The T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Throughout the telecast, our host, Matt Ryan, will bring you all of the face-punching goodness the UFC can provide. The team will be streaming LIVE from the home of #UFC live streaming… a basement in New Jersey. Please join us and be sure to subscribe to Combat Culture on YouTube while you are there. Then, settle in with Matt as he guides you through all of the face-punching goodness the UFC can provide.

Headlining the UFC 279 PPV event is a blockbuster welterweight showdown at 170lbs as Khamzat Chimaev likely brutalizes Nate Diaz. In the co-main event, Tony ‘El Cucuy’ Ferguson battles Li ‘The Leech’ Jingliang in his debut return to 170lbs.

We’re all mustering up our excitement just enough for this card in order to shout at the television set right along with you SATURDAY NIGHT, starting fifteen minutes before the PPV main card kicks off.

In other words, UFC 279 can’t start soon enough! Don’t be afraid to admit it, don’t feel guilty, you’re actually legitimately interested to see who gets their asses kicked in this affair… and you’re potentially invested in this;

If not — or you’re just unable (or unwilling) to shell out $74.99US (for current subscribers) or a whopping $99.98 plus tax (for the PPV and ESPN+ annual subscription deal) — don’t worry, we’ve got you covered…

We’re going to call every moment of UFC 279’s PPV main card on our Combat Culture YouTube channel LIVE Saturday night at 10PM ET, bringing you as close to Sin City as we can from our New Jersey-based studio (video player embedded above for your convenience).
