UFC 304 start time in Manchester with Tom Aspinall, Leon Edwards and Paddy Pimblett fight details

Get your coffee and energy drinks at the ready; it's going to be a late one in Manchester on Saturday night as UFC 304 takes place at the city's Co-op Live Arena with Salford favourite Tom Aspinall in action.

The 31-year-old is ready to defend his interim heavyweight title in a much-anticipated rematch against Curtis Blaydes. Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhammad 2 tops the billing - with Paddy Pimblett also due to the strap on his gloves - and 14 fights are scheduled in total for a mouth-watering event.

TNT Sports are due to broadcast proceedings. However, due to the United States audience, the fighting will get underway late on Saturday night and carry on to Sunday morning's early hours.
