Watch UFC 299: O'Malley vs. Vera 2 PPV MMA streams LIVE (6:00 PM ET)

Eastern Time (ET)




The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday arrives on Biscayne Bay, as UFC 299 touches down at Kaseya Center in Miami with a stacked card. The electric pay-per-view spectacle will be headlined by a bantamweight championship bout between freshly minted champ Sean O'Malley and old foe Marlon Vera. The co-main event features a pivotal bout in the lightweight division, where former 155-pound interim champ Dustin Poirier welcomes the challenge of burgeoning Frenchman Benoit St. Denis.

In the main event, O'Malley and Vera will rekindle old acquaintances from their 2020 clash. O'Malley, known for his explosive style, carries a five-fight undefeated streak into play, while Vera returned to winning ways following a slight hiccup against Cory Sandhagen in his last Octagon outing. Before that, he had racked up four straight wins. Remarkably, he has never been finished in 32 professional fights. The bad blood between the two stems from their first confrontation at UFC 252, where Vera emerged victorious via TKO. Meanwhile, in the co-main event, Poirier takes on St. Denis in a rare non-title five-round showdown. Poirier faces questions about his longevity in the sport following a recent loss to Justin Gaethje, while St. Denis rides a five-fight winning streak, with all victories by finish.
