NASCAR, UFC, and Golf Highlight Weekend’s Live Sports Schedule
The Last Dance typically dominates our Monday discussions, but this upcoming Monday we'll have even more to talk about with the return of golf, NASCAR, and another UFC card.
Finally, we have a weekend that feels big in the sports world. Golf, NASCAR, and UFC do have select audiences, but at this point, I think most of us will be tuning in to get our sports fix.
The UFC will present its third card this week on Saturday night. Live from Jacksonville, UFC on ESPN: Overeem vs. Harris will broadcast live on ESPN starting at 5:00 for the prelims with the main card to follow at 8:00. The main event features a heavyweight bout between Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris. Other notable fighters include Edson Barboza, Dan Ige, and former Alabama linebacker Eryk Anders.
Golf fans will have a fun exhibition skins matchup to watch on Sunday afternoon. Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, and Matthew Wolff will participate in the Seminole Skins Match with all of the money being donated to charities of the players' choice. Play begins at 1:00 Sunday afternoon with the broadcast live on NBC, The Golf Channel, and NBCSN.
NASCAR also returns on Sunday afternoon at Darlington Raceway. The event will take place without fans in the stands and kicks off a stretch for NASCAR that features seven races in 11 days. The race is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM on FOX.
