UFC Fight Night: Hall vs. Strickland Full Card Preview
Not wanting to be outdone by the MLB Trade Deadline, UFC Vegas 33 has had about as many announcements and changes to this card as baseball had trades. The once 15-fight card is now down to 11, but fight fans can take a little solace in that the main event between middleweights Uriah Hall and Sean Strickland is still a go.
The preliminary card starts at 6 p.m. ET and the main card follows at 9 p.m. Saturday, July 31, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. All fights will be broadcast live on ESPN.
Check back two hours before the preliminary card starts, when Matt and Craig give their final thoughts on the card live on YouTube.
