With a small change to the preliminary card, the lineup is again set for Saturday’s UFC 217 event.
As part of the shuffle, a bout between light heavyweights Corey Anderson (9-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Ovince Saint Preux (21-10 MMA, 9-5 UFC) is now part of the televised lineup.
UFC 217 takes place Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Anderson vs. Saint Preux has moved from the UFC Fight Pass early prelim up to the FS1-televised prelims. As a result, a heavyweight fight between Ion Cutelaba (13-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk (12-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been demoted from FS1 prelims to the UFC Fight Pass portion of the card, though it’s now in the featured early-prelim slot and closes out the three-bout online stream.
Preux, who’s No. 10 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings, recently replaced Patrick Cummins (10-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC), who was forced off the card due to a “mutant staph infection.” He faces Anderson, who’s an honorable mention and just outside of the top 15 rankings.
The full UFC 217 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (FS1, 8 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 6:30 p.m. ET)
