Fight weekend: UFC in Las Vegas, ONE in Bangkok, BKFC in Glasgow and a title-heavy boxing slate, Nov. 6-8

Johnny Walker meets Waldo Cortes Acosta in a five-round heavyweight main event at UFC Fight Night on Saturday, while boxing offers a vacant WBC interim belt, two more title fights and a women's IBF defense. Every card from Friday to Sunday, with Eastern Time starts where we could confirm them.

Saturday is the busy day: a full UFC card in Las Vegas, a bare knuckle show from Glasgow and three boxing cards. All times are Eastern Time. We checked each bout against the sources linked at the bottom. Where we could not confirm a start time or venue, we say so rather than guess.

Friday, November 6

ONE Fight Night 49: Gabriel vs. Magomedov

  • Start: 9:00 PM ET, per the event timestamp on ONE Championship's event page
  • Venue: Lumpinee Stadium, Bangkok
  • Main event: Lucas Gabriel vs. Magomed Magomedov, lightweight MMA
  • Watch: ONE says the card airs live in US primetime. Check the event page for the platform in your area.

Why it matters: ONE describes both headliners as near-flawless. We did not find their full records on the page, so we are not quoting them.

Saturday, November 7

UFC Fight Night: Cortes Acosta vs. Walker

  • Venue: Meta APEX, Las Vegas
  • Start: early card 5:00 PM ET, main card 8:00 PM ET, per ESPN's fight center
  • Watch: Paramount+ in the US, per ESPN

The card has 14 bouts. The five-round main event and the other main card fights, as ESPN lists them:

BoutWeightRecords
Johnny Walker vs. Waldo Cortes Acosta (5 rounds)Heavyweight23-10 vs. 17-4
Tatiana Suarez vs. Virna JandirobaWomen's strawweight13-1 vs. 23-4
Davey Grant vs. Elijah SmithBantamweight18-8 vs. 10-1

Priscila Cachoeira vs. Nina MilosevicWomen's bantamweight13-9 vs. 9-1
Mitch Raposo vs. Marcos DegliFlyweight11-3 vs. 15-3

Why it matters: Suarez (13-1) against the 23-4 Jandiroba is a strawweight contest between two of the most experienced names on the card. Earlier on the card, Jose Delano (17-3) faces the unbeaten Murtazali Magomedov (11-0) at featherweight and Johnny Parsons (9-3) meets Jose Souza (9-1) at welterweight. Records are as listed by ESPN. Full dates are on our fights page.

BKFC 96 Glasgow: Weir vs. Cohoon

  • Venue: OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland
  • Main event: Sean Weir vs. Leigh Cohoon
  • Start: BKFC's events page lists 2:00 PM without naming a time zone. If that is Glasgow time, it is 9:00 AM ET. Confirm on the event page before you set an alarm.
  • Watch: BKFC+ in the US

Boxing: Buatsi vs. Hutchinson 2 and Billam-Smith vs. Clarke

Per ESPN's boxing schedule, Saturday has two British cards. Joshua Buatsi faces Willy Hutchinson in a rematch over 12 rounds for the vacant WBC interim light heavyweight title. Chris Billam-Smith fights Cheavon Clarke over 10 rounds at cruiserweight, with Denzel Bentley vs. Shane Mosley Jr. as the co-feature. ESPN's page does not give start times or arenas, so we are not stating them.

Boxing: Perez vs. Rivera and Taduran vs. Moreno

ESPN lists Abraham Perez defending his WBA interim flyweight title against Yankiel Rivera over 12 rounds, and Pedro Taduran defending his IBF strawweight title against Brandon Moreno over 12 rounds. The card is in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and DAZN lists it for 9:00 PM ET, according to our schedule data. We could not re-confirm the time on DAZN's page this morning, so check it before the evening.

Wrestling event: WWE Crown Jewel

WWE's events page lists Crown Jewel in Riyadh on Saturday. WWE is scripted entertainment, so there is no contest to preview. We could not confirm the main event or start time from wwe.com.

Sunday, November 8

Alycia Baumgardner vs. Elif Nur Turhan

  • Venue: Arlington, Texas
  • On the line: Turhan's IBF women's lightweight title, 10 rounds, per ESPN
  • Watch: ESPN. Our schedule data lists an 8:00 PM ET start, which we could not re-confirm on ESPN's page.

IBJJF The Crown

FloGrappling's events page lists the IBJJF Crown at the LBS Financial Credit Union venue in Long Beach, California, on Sunday. No headliner is listed, so we are not naming one.

Where fans are watching

Paramount+ carries UFC, BKFC+ carries bare knuckle, ESPN has the Sunday boxing card and WWE, and DAZN is listed for the Albuquerque card. Schedules change, and fight cards change faster than most, so confirm with the promoter before you tune in.

If you see betting lines on these fights elsewhere, they move quickly. 21+. 1-800-GAMBLER.
