UFC 285: How and when to watch? Check out details here for USA, UK, India, Australia

The UFC 285 event is scheduled to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, USA, on March 4th, 2023. It's regarded by many as one of the most highly-anticipated combat sports cards of the 2023 calendar year.

The event will be headlined by a fight for the vacant UFC heavyweight title between former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former interim UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane. It will mark Jones' return to the octagon after a three-year hiatus and will be his debut in the heavyweight division.

The event's co-headlining matchup will witness reigning UFC women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defend her title against No. 6-ranked women's flyweight fighter Alexa Grasso.

In what's one of the most-awaited matchups on the card, 'Bullet' looks to notch yet another successful title defense, while a potential trilogy fight against UFC women's bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes at bantamweight looms on the horizon.

Furthermore, the fight card will feature the No. 7-ranked UFC welterweight Geoff Neal clash against the No. 9-ranked Shavkat Rakhmonov. Many foresee the fight as a huge opportunity for the undefeated Rakhmonov to earn himself a top-five-ranked opponent next, provided he beats Neal.
