UFC on ESPN 60: How to watch Amanda Lemos vs. Virna Jandiroba, start time, Las Vegas fight card, odds, more

After a trip to the mountains, the UFC is back on its home turf this week with a pair of women’s strawweights at the top of the lineup.

Here’s how to watch UFC on ESPN 60 with 115-pounders in the headlining spot, plus middleweights in the co-feature.

UFC on ESPN 60 has a main card that starts at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. The preliminary card airs on ESPN2 and streams on ESPN+ at 5 p.m. ET.

Veteran broadcaster Karyn Bryant serves as desk anchor and host at UFC on ESPN 60.

UFC Hall of Famer and former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans and retired welterweight veteran Alan Jouban joins her as analysts at the desk.

Longtime UFC correspondent Megan Olivi will conduct pre and post-fight interviews backstage with some of the athletes on the UFC on ESPN 60 card, as well as report additional real-time updates for the event.

Brendan Fitzgerald will serve as the leading man on the mic from cageside at UFC on ESPN 60.

He’ll command play-by-play and be joined in the booth by retired former two-division champion and UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier, as well as Laura Sanko.

It will mark the first time the trio of Fitzgerald, Cormier and Sanko will call a UFC event.

Main event: Amanda Lemos

Amanda Lemos

Record: 14-3-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC
Opponent: Virna Jandiroba (20-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC)
Division: Women’s strawweight
Key wins: Mackenzie Dern, Marina Rodriguez, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, Angela Hill
Misc.: After her title challenge loss to Zhang Weili nearly a year ago, Lemos bounced back with an impressive decision win over Mackenzie Dern in February.

Main event: Virna Jandiroba

Virna Jandiroba

Record: 20-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC
Opponent: Amanda Lemos (14-3-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC)
Division: Women’s strawweight
Key wins: Lupita Godinez, Marina Rodriguez, Angela Hill
Misc.: Jandiroba has been on a roll with three straight wins, all by decision, since a loss to Amanda Ribas nearly three years ago.

Co-main event: Junyong Park

Junyong Park

Record: 17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC
Opponent: Brad Tavares (20-9 MMA, 15-9 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Albert Duraev, Eryk Anders, Marc-Andre Barriault
Misc.: Park was on a tear with four straight wins, including three in a row by rear-naked choke – though none of those were deemed worthy of post-fight bonuses for the South Korean – until he dropped a split call to Andre Muniz this past December. A win over Tavares arguably would be his biggest name yet.

Record: 20-9 MMA, 15-9 UFC
Opponent: Junyong Park (17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Chris Weidman, Omari Akhmedov, Antonio Carlos Junior, Lorenz Larkin
Misc.: It’s been a rough stretch for Hawaii’s Tavares with losses in three of his past four, starting with a decision setback to current champ Dricus Du Plessis. This past August, though, his one win in the past three years was a big one over former champ Chris Weidman.
