How to Watch UFC 276: Adesanya vs. Cannonier Live on July 2

UFC 276: Adesanya and Cannonier meet in the Octagon on Saturday. Here's how to watch.

Raymond McCain

For MMA fans and enthusiasts, International Fight Week is ending with a bang, as UFC 276: Adesanya vs. Cannonier takes place tonight live from T-Mobile Arnea, outside of Las Vegas. Capping off a week that featured the induction of the 2022 class of the UFC Hall of Fame, UFC 276 is going to be one of the most significant events of the year. 

The 16-bout card features some of the promotion's biggest names, which will be headlined by a UFC Middleweight title fight between "The Last Stylebender" Israel Adesanya (champion) and "Tha Killa Gorilla" Jared Cannonier, and a co-main event featuring Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski defending his UFC Featherweight title against Max "Blessed" Holloway.

With a 22-1 record inside of the Octagon, Adesanya, who is unbeaten as a Middleweight, will be defending his title for the fifth time. The Nigerian-born New Zealand fighter has 15 career wins by knockout and is the third-ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Adesanya's "The Last Stylebendder" nickname is a reference to Avatar: The Last Airbender, and it's also a nod to his versatility as a fighter, as he's a former kickboxing and boxing champion.

Fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona, Cannonier is the No. 2 ranked Middleweight with a 15-5 record. The Killa Gorilla is one of the most dangerous technicians in the UFC with 12 of his 15 wins coming via submission. After defeating Derek Brunson at UFC 271 via TKO, Cannonier received the opportunity to fight for his first UFC championship when he squares off against Adesanya. In the past, he's competed at Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight and has won 5 of his past 6 fights, 4 by TKO.

In the co-main event, Adesanya's teammate and UFC Featherweight champion Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski looks to complete the hat trick against Max "Blessed" Holloway. At 24-1, Volkanovski won their two previous meetings at UFC 245 and UFC 251, and he's currently on a 21-fight winning streak. Holloway, who's on a two-fight winning streak, will be attempting to pull off an upset when these two rivals step inside the Octagon for the third time.
