The event is at Meta APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fernando and Elekana are competing on the UFC Fight Night card there, rather than at a separate venue for their bout.
The matchup is part of the main card, which begins at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. That puts it after the prelims, scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. Eastern, though the event schedule does not give this bout its own airtime.
