UFC Primetime is a television series currently airing on FX in the United States. The show chronicles the training regimens of two UFC fighters prior to their next upcoming main event bout.

Premise

Each season consists of three episodes with 30-minute running times (including commercials) that showcase opposing UFC mixed martial artists in their training camps as they make final preparations in getting ready—both mentally and physically—leading up to their big match.

UFC Primetime has drawn comparisons to HBO Sport's 24/7 highly acclaimed TV series, which shows the preparations of two boxers before a big event.
