UFC 319 fight week has arrived. This Saturday, just a week after the promotion’s second consecutive event at the UFC Apex, Dana White and his team will be hitting the road for an extended period.
This event marks the UFC’s first since the surprising announcement on Monday that it will transition from ESPN and ESPN+ to Paramount+ and CBS, in a massive $7.7 billion deal set to take effect in 2026.
UFC 319 and all future UFC events will still be broadcast and streamed on Disney-owned platforms until the end of its 2025 schedule in December. The United Center in Chicago will host this Saturday’s event.
Coverage for UFC 319 kicks off with early prelims, including the finals of this season of The Ultimate Fighter, at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT. In the U.S., this portion will be available on both ESPN+ and UFC Fight Pass.
The late prelims will start at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on ESPN and ESPN+, followed by the main card at 10 pm ET/7 pm PT on pay-per-view, featuring a total of 14 fights if the bout order remains unchanged.
UFC 319 Featured Prelim: King Green vs. Diego Ferreira
The featured prelim sees lightweights Bobby (King) Green (37-12-1, 1 NC MMA, 13-12-1, 1 NC UFC) face off against Diego Ferreira (19-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC). Green enters UFC 319 on a streak of two consecutive losses, having fallen to Mauricio Ruffy by KO in Round 1 last March. Should he lose again, it may prompt him to reconsider his fighting future.
UFC 319 Co-Featured Prelim: Gerald Meerschaert vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk
In the co-featured prelim, middleweights Gerald Meerschaert (37-19 MMA, 12-11 UFC) and Michal Oleksiejczuk (20-9, 1 NC MMA, 8-7, 1 NC UFC) will clash. Meerschaert holds a 2-3 record recently, coming off two losses, while Oleksiejczuk looks to build on a recent win after three consecutive losses.
UFC 319: No. 5 Contender Jessica Andrade vs. No. 11 Contender Loopy Godinez
Another exciting prelim features a strawweight bout between former champion Jessica Andrade (26-14 MMA, 17-12 UFC) and No. 11 contender Loopy Godinez (13-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC). Andrade, with a 2-3 record in her last five, seeks redemption after a recent loss, while Godinez aims to boost her ranking and get closer to title contention.
