UFC Fight Night: Costa vs. Vettori - What is the start time for the UFC fight tonight (October 23, 2021)?
The UFC Apex in Las Vegas will host a stacked Fight Night card this weekend, headlined by a light heavyweight battle between Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori. UFC Fight Night: Costa vs. Vettori will go down on Saturday, October 23.
Originally scheduled for middleweight, the bout was first moved to catchweight and then finally to light heavyweight at Costa's request. 'The Eraser' will be forfeiting 20 percent of his fight purse to Vettori because of the late nature of the weight change.
