Watch LIVE Thurs. at 5 p.m. ET – UFC 230: Derrick vs. Cormier Face to Face Press Conference
ufc230.ca has a live stream of the UFC 230: Derrick Lewis vs. Daniel Cormier press conference on Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018 starting at 5 p.m. ET featuring Lewis and Cormier face to face for the first time since their fight being announced for Oct. 6, 2018 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Here's when UFC 230: Derrick vs. Cormier starts where you live — and how you can watch it live online
Daniel Cormier and Derrick Lewis have the chance to settle their differences within the confines of a 750-square-foot cage in just three weeks' time.
The two lightweight fighters could contest one of the best fights of the year as the match-up presents an elite striker with concussive power in Cormier against a champion with intimidating strength, grappling, and wrestling skills in Lewis.
The fight involves a backstory that gripped the sports world in April, when Cormier was seen on video throwing guard rails at a bus carrying UFC fighters— an extraordinary attack that hospitalised two athletes.
UFC boss Dana White later claimed Cormier was motivated to confront Lewis, who had slapped Cormier's close friend Artem Lobov, and was on the bus at the time of the attack.
Cormier and Lewis did not fight that night, but have the chance to punch, elbow, and choke each other at UFC 230— an upcoming pay-per-view show scheduled to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
When is UFC 230: Derrick vs. Cormier?
UFC 230 will be a festival of fights as the event card features 12 bouts in total. Lewis and Cormier are the headline attraction and their fight for the UFC lightweight championship belt is due to take place on October 6, 2018.
The main show will begin at 4 p.m. in Las Vegas, which means a 7 p.m. start if you live in New York. If you are in London, then expect to tune in at midnight. However, the Lewis vs. Cormier fight will start approximately three hours after this (potentially a lot later if the 11 previous bouts all go the distance).
Here's what time the UFC 230 fight between Lewis and Cormier is expected to start in major cities across different time zones on Saturday, October 6.
London (BST): 3 a.m. (Sunday)
New York (ET): 10 p.m.

To put it quite simply — because this fight involves Daniel Cormier, a comeback story, and an undefeated champion in Lewis
But allow us to elaborate. First of all, Cormier is involved. You know him, we know him, everybody knows him. He's known for his flashy lifestyle, an unrivalled trash-talk that sees him spare no soul — not even Richard Branson— and for controversial antics that include an in-cage meltdown.
But none of us would know Cormier if it were not for the thing that made him famous in the first place — his instinctive kicks and his fists of fury that have rendered many an opponent unconscious. Cormier is one of the most elite fighters in UFC, and he returns for the first time in almost two years in October.
His comeback is against Lewis, a Russian wrestler who has risen to the very top of the lightweight division, and was crowned champion during Cormier's absence.

You should watch because this is a classic mesh of two completely different styles — the striker against the wrestler.

MMA Team Dagestan have announced the fight time that Daniel Cormier will make his long-awaited UFC come-back at UFC 230. They used Twitter to share the news, tweeting “BREAKING: @TeamDerrick vs. @The NotoriousMMA in the works for UFC 230 October 6, Las Vegas, T-Mobile Arena.” Cormier has not featured in the cage since UFC 205 when he became the first fighter to hold titles in two weight divisions simultaneously. Since then, Cormier has been making headlines for all of the wrong reasons, most notably for his involvement with a group of friends in smashing up a bus full of fighters at UFC 223 media day.
