UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs Shahbazyan is the next event by the promotion and here is the fight card, location, date, live stream and where to watch

After a great month or so in Abu Dhabi, the UFC is moving away from the Middle East ahead of its next event.

UFC 251 was one of the biggest PPVs in UFC history as Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman fought for the Welterweight title.

There were two other title clashes before some Fight Night events. However, it is time to return to the States with some Fight Night events before UFC 252 comes calling.

UFC Fight Night 173 is up next and here are all the details ahead of this event.

Date and Location

The UFC is back in the United States for its next set of events. UFC Fight Night will take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fight Island was home to the UFC for a month or so, but this move will certainly help the fighters.

The events at Fight Island were shown on US prime time but the fights actually took place early in the morning locally.

UFC Fight Night 173 will take place on 1 August with the Preliminary card at 6PM ET. The main card is expected to start at 9PM ET.

Brunson vs Shahbazyan Live stream and where to watch

For fans in the UK, BT Sport is the home for all UFC action while those in the Indian subcontinent can watch it on Sony/Ten.

Further, the fights can be seen on the Sony Liv app too. However, there are other websites that might be streaming the event, and here are some other links that could be used.
