What time is the Jan Blachowicz vs. Alex Pereira fight tonight ...

In tonight's UFC 291 event, the co-main event sees light heavyweight title contenders Jan Blachowicz and Alex Pereira go toe-to-toe.

Brazilian fighter Pereira is making his first appearance in the light heavyweight division, having previously held the UFC's middlewight title during his short time with the promotion.

Blachowicz is also a former UFC champion, in the light heavyweight division, and is the current third seed at 186 pounds.

Jamahal Hill vacated the light heavyweight belt earlier in July after rupturing his Achilles, so a win tonight at UFC 291 would make Blachowicz or Pereira a leading candidate for a title fight.
