What Time Does It Start On Saturday?

The UFC is back on Saturday, and the action gets underway a little earlier than usual.

UFC Vegas 104 takes place at the Apex in Las Vegas. The show will be headlined by the rematch between No. 8 Marvin Vettori and No. 12 Roman Dolidze.

The two men first met in March 2023 at UFC 286, where Vettori won via unanimous decision. Since then, he lost a Fight of the Night bout against Jared Cannonier in June 2023 but has been sidelined with injuries.

He’ll be making his first Octagon walk in nearly two years when he runs it back with Dolidze. The 36-year-old Dolidze is attempting to climb the middleweight rankings.

After the loss to Vettori, he dropped a majority decision to Nassourdine Imavov before reeling off back-to-back wins over Anthony Smith at light heavyweight in June 2024 and Kevin Holland in October 2024.

He’s been more active than Vettori, but will that lead to a reversal of fortune for “The Caucasian” (that’s actually his nickname) on Saturday?

Here is a look at the complete card along with the start times for the prelims and main card.

UFC Vegas 104 Main Card – 7 p.m. ET

• Marvin Vettori vs. Roman Dolidze – Middleweight
• Elizeu Zaleski vs. Chidi Njokuani – Welterweight
• Alexander Hernandez vs. Kurt Holobaugh – Lightweight
• Da’Mon Blackshear vs. Cody Gibson – Bantamweight
• Diyar Nurgozhay vs. Brendson Ribeiro – Light Heavyweight
• Kevin Vallejos vs. Seung Woo Choi – Featherweight

UFC Vegas 104 Prelims – 4 p.m. ET

• Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Ryan Spann – Heavyweight
• Su Young You vs. AJ Cunningham – Bantamweight
• Josias Musasa vs. Carlos Vera – Bantamweight
• Sam Hughes vs. Stephanie Luciano – Strawweight
• André Lima vs. Daniel Barez – Flyweight
• Josiane Nunes vs. Priscilla Cachoeira – Bantamweight
• Yuneisy Duben vs. Carli Judice – Flyweight

Vettori, Dolidze and Corte-Acosta are the only ranked fighters on the card. However, hardcore UFC fans may have their eyes on a few potentially exciting newcomers. Unfortunately, a couple of them didn’t get their fight weekends off to a strong start at the weigh-ins.

It was a weight-missing bonanza on Friday ahead of the card. Three fighters missed weight, but none more egregiously than Diyar Nurgozhay. Ahead of his main roster debut following an impressive KO win on Dana White’s Contender Series, Nurgozhay missed weight by a whopping 4.5 pounds for his fight with Brendson Ribeiro.

The fight is still on, and Nurgozhay will try to keep his undefeated record intact despite not making many fans with his inability to come close to making weight.

Co-main eventer Chidi Njokuani also missed weight. The veteran welterweight came in 1.5 pounds over for his fight with Elizeu Zaleski. That fight will still take place despite Njokuani’s weight miss, marking the second time he has failed to make weight as a UFC fighter.

Josias Musasa, another DWCS standout from this past season, also missed weight. He was only over by half a pound. He, too, will still compete as he takes on Carlos Vera in his main roster debut.
