The leading MMA organization is set to host its second numbered event in under a week.
This Saturday, Premier Promotions will be back in Sydney, Australia, for UFC 325, featuring the featherweight title rematch between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopez as the main attraction.
This highly anticipated card follows the triumph of UFC 324, which marked the promotion’s debut event since securing a monumental $7.7 billion partnership with Paramount that ended its pay-per-view system.
Now, just days later, another major event is approaching, showcasing some of the sport’s top athletes.
UFC 325 Start Time
Thanks to the new Paramount deal, the event will kick off an hour earlier than usual.
Paramount has made several adjustments to ensure the event is more accessible globally, allowing as many fans as possible to tune in.
| Time Zone | Early Qualifiers | Qualifying | Main Card |
|---|---|---|---|
| E.T. | 5pm | 7pm | 9pm |
| PST | 2pm | 4pm | 6pm |
| GMT | 10pm | Midnight | 2am |
How to Watch UFC 325
In the United States, Paramount has streamlined viewing so fans only need a Paramount+ subscription to watch the entire event.
International viewers will have to access the broadcast through their local rights holders. For instance, UK fans can catch the prelims and main card on TNT Sports, with the earliest prelims available on UFC Fight Pass via paid subscription. Australian audiences can watch prelims on Paramount+ while the main card airs on Kayo.
UFC 325 Fight Card
The UFC 325 lineup features 14 bouts, including multiple notable fighters from the Oceania region.
The main event sees Alexander Volkanovski defending his featherweight championship against Diego Lopez, with Volkanovski aiming to reaffirm his dominance over the Brazilian competitor.
