This weekend, we're going to have some fun watching the next UFC Fight Night event, which puts the spotlight on the fight between Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum.Â
The MMA event was supposed to feature Whittaker and Paulo Costa, but following Costa's decision to withdraw due to fighting off the flu, he was replaced with Gastelum, current number 8.Â
The fight is scheduled for Saturday, April 17th. The prelims will start at 7 PM ET, while the main card is expected to begin at 10 PM, with the big fight taking place just after midnight. You can watch the event live on ESPN and ESPN+ straight from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

If you want to watch the UFC Fight Night over on ESPN, you can also subscribe to a live TV service. You will find ESPN is available on fuboTV, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling TV (Orange and Orange + Blue bundles), but we always recommend ESPN+ since it's far lesser compared in price and its the home of everything related to UFC.
According to the predictions we have so far from sportsbook Bovada, Whittaker is expected to win the fight. His odds are currently at -260, while Gastelum's are +200. If you're unfamiliar with how this all works, you should know that you have to bet $260 to make $100 if Whittaker wins, while if you bet $100, you'll win $200 if Gastelum manages to defeat Whittaker.Â
