Conor McGregor and Paddy Pimblett are both in action at UFC 329 this weekend as one of the year's biggest fight cards heads to Las Vegas. McGregor makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon for the first time in five years when he takes on former featherweight champion Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch, more than 13 years after the pair first met. Before that, Liverpool star Pimblett faces Benoit Saint-Denis in a pivotal lightweight co-main event as he looks to return to winning ways.
With fans in the UK facing a late night to catch all the action live from the T-Mobile Arena, here's everything you need to know about the expected ring walk times and how to watch the event.
What time do Paddy Pimblett and Conor McGregor fight?
UFC 329 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 11.

The preliminary card gets underway at 10pm BST on Saturday, while the main card begins at 2am BST on Sunday.
Pimblett and Saint-Denis are scheduled as the co-main event, with McGregor and Holloway closing the show.
What time are the ring walks expected?
Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint-Denis are expected to make their walk to the Octagon at around 3.30am BST on Sunday. Conor McGregor and Max Holloway are then expected to make their ring walks approximately an hour later, at around 4.30am BST.
