The UFC heads to St. Louis on May 11 with a former heavyweight title challenger in the main event. Here’s how to watch UFC on ESPN 56 with the big men in the headlining spots, along with welterweight and light heavyweight sluggers on the main card.

UFC on ESPN 56 has a main card starting at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. The preliminary card streams on ESPN+ at 4 p.m. ET

Derrick Lewis (18-10 UFC, 27-12 MMA), a two-time heavyweight title challenger, is in the toughest stretch of his career. The Houston native has dropped four of his past five, including three straight stoppages at one point. Still, the 39-year-old is one of the most popular fighters on the roster and holds the UFC record for career knockouts with 14.

Nascimento (4-1 UFC, 11-1 MMA), a 31-year-old from Brazil, is on a different current trajectory than Lewis. After a TKO victory over Alan Baudot nearly two years ago, Nascimento has three straight decisions over Tanner Bowser, Illy Latifi, and Don’Tale Mayes. But Lewis will be his biggest test.

Who: Pantoja vs. Erceg
Date: Saturday, May 4, 2024
Venue: Farmasi Arena, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Start time: 10 p.m. ET, 3 a.m. BST (Main card)
How to watch: ESPN+ PPV, TNT Sports PPV

UFC 301 is scheduled for May 4 at Jeunes Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As usual, the card will feature a strong group of Brazilian fighters. The hometown fans will have one of their own in the main event, as flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja defends his title against No. 10 Australian Steve Erceg.

Alexandre Pantoja, 34, is on a five-fight win streak, and carries a professional record of 27-5, with 18 of those coming by stoppage (10 submissions and 8 TKO/KO). The fight against Steve Erceg will be Pantoza’s second title defense since dethroning Brandon Moreno in the co-main event of UFC 290 in July 2023.

Steve Erceg, 28, is 12-1 professionally and a perfect 3-0 in the UFC. Erceg’s only loss came in his second fight as a professional.

Considering this will be a title opportunity, he’s headed for a quick turnaround. Erceg scored a TKO win over Matt Schnell in his last fight in March.

Some could argue with Erseg getting a title shot, but the opportunity is at the right time and place. Pantoja has already defeated four people who are ahead of Erceg.

The main event of UFC Vegas 91 featured a flyweight matchup between Matheus Nicolau and Alex Perez in a notable flyweight matchup. Matheus Nicolau comes into Saturday’s scrap as the No. 5 fighter in the official UFC flyweight rankings, while Alex Perez checks in as the No. 8 fighter in the UFC’s 125-pound division.

The UFC celebrates its 300th PPV anniversary on April 13, but MMA fans are already turning their attention to UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

As is often the case with Brazil cards, every single match for UFC 301 features at least one Brazilian — from the early prelims to the main event on PPV.

The featured prelims see rising Welsh star Jack Shore take on the ever-exciting Jordanson Brito while former UFC champion Jose Aldo steps into the main card after his 40th career MMA fight.

UFC 301 is headlined by two of the best flyweights in the world. Defending champion Alexandre Pantoza defends his strap against 12-1 Australian Steve Erceg.

Although it lacks the star power of previous UFC 300 cards, the UFC has promised to put on a show for its return to South America.

Here’s everything you need to know about UFC 301

When is UFC 301?

UFC 301 will kick off on May 4, 2024, in front of a sold-out crowd in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. UFC has held a show in Brazil for the first time since January 2023

The action takes place at the Pharmacy Arena, as UFC 301 becomes the company’s tenth event at the venue.

When does UFC 301 start?

Start times for Eastern Time, Pacific Time, and Greenwich Mean Time are included in the table below.

Event	ET	PT	GMT
Early Prelims	6 PM	3 PM	11 PM

UFC 301 main card and prelims

The full UFC 301 fight card can be found in the table included below.

Main Card:
UFC Flyweight Championship:
Alexandre Pantoja vs. Steve Erceg
Jonathan Martinez vs. Jose Aldo
Anthony Smith vs. Vitor Petrino
Michel Pereira vs. Makhmud Muradov
Paul Craig vs. Caio Borralho

Feature Prelims:
Jack Shore vs. Joanderson Brito
Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs. Iasmin Lucindo
Elves Brener vs. Myktybek Orolbai
Jean Silva vs. William Gomis

Early Prelims:
Joaquim Silva vs. Drakkar Klose
Mauricio Ruffy vs. Jamie Mullarkey
Dione Barbosa vs. Ernesta Kareckaite
Ismael Bonfim vs. Vinc Pichel
Alessandro Costa vs. Kevin Borjas

Michel Pereira returned to the Octagon less than two months after submitting Michal Oleksiejczuk in the first round at UFC 299. His quick turnaround comes against Makhmud Muradov, who is winless in three of his last four bouts.

Anthony “Lionheart” Smith has dealt with similar struggles as losses to Khalil Roundtree Jr., Johnnie Walker, and Magomed Anklayev put Smith’s UFC future in jeopardy. He looks to rebound against undefeated Brazilian Vitor Petrino.

It all culminates in a flyweight battle for the gold. Alexander Pantoza enters July 2020 on a five-fight winning streak, while challenger Steve Erceg has won three in a row to start his promising UFC career.

Pantoja is the favorite to win, and having the support of his home country could be too much for Erceg to overcome. But don’t count on the wily Australians to pull off an upset in Brazil.
