How to Watch UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Nolan in Australia

Tom Nolan has won five straight and now gets five rounds against a ranked lightweight, with the main card starting at 11:00am AEDT on Sunday, November 1.

UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Nolan streams live on Paramount+ in Australia, with the prelims from 8:00am AEDT and the main card from 11:00am AEDT on Sunday, November 1.

It's Halloween night at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, and the whole card sits inside a standard Paramount+ subscription, so there's no pay-per-view to buy and nothing extra to add through Kayo or Foxtel.

The headliner is the biggest test of Nolan's career so far. 

The 26-year-old Aussie has only lost once inside the Octagon, back on debut, and he walked into this one after Brian Ortega's cut ruled him out of a rematch with Moicano at UFC 331, which left the Brazilian needing a new dance partner and Nolan getting the call.

Moicano vs Nolan Start Times Around Australia

With daylight saving running in the south-east since early October, Queensland is an hour behind Sydney and Perth is three hours back, so here's how Sunday morning shapes up in each state.

• Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart (AEDT): prelims 8:00am, main card 11:00am
• Brisbane (AEST): prelims 7:00am, main card 10:00am
• Adelaide (ACDT): prelims 7:30am, main card 10:30am
• Darwin (ACST): prelims 6:30am, main card 9:30am
• Perth (AWST): prelims 5:00am, main card 8:00am

There are six fights on the main card, so Moicano and Nolan should make the walk somewhere between 1:00pm and 2:00pm AEDT, depending on how many finishes land before them.

If you're only tuning in for the Aussie, early afternoon on the east coast is the time to have the telly on.

How to Watch Moicano vs Nolan on Paramount+

Paramount+ has been the Australian home of every UFC Fight Night since January 2026, when its new deal with the promotion kicked in, and this card follows the same pattern.

The prelims and main card both stream live as part of a regular subscription, so if you've already got Paramount+ there's nothing extra to pay.

You can watch through the Paramount+ app on smart TVs, phones and tablets, or in a web browser. No early prelims are listed for this event, which means UFC Fight Pass isn't needed on the night.

Numbered events run differently, because their main cards stay on Main Event pay-per-view through Kayo and Foxtel with only the prelims on Paramount+ and Network Ten.

A Fight Night like this one is the simpler setup, with everything in the one place.

Tom Nolan Gets His Shot Against Renato Moicano

Nolan has been building towards a night like this for a while.

His only UFC loss came in his promotional debut, and since then he's put together a five-fight win streak that includes first-round finishes of Charlie Campbell and Victor Martinez, plus a unanimous decision over Viacheslav Borshchev in front of a home crowd at UFC 312 in Sydney.

His latest win was the best of the lot, a unanimous decision over Farès Ziam in Las Vegas in June, and he was calling for Moicano straight afterwards.

He gets his wish, although it comes with his first five-round fight, which is a big step for a fighter who has never needed to go past three rounds.

Moicano is about as tricky an opponent as the division offers. 

The Brazilian has beaten Jalin Turner, Benoît Saint Denis and Chris Duncan since 2024, and he submitted Duncan in the second round when he headlined in April, so this is his second main event of 2026.

His two recent losses came against Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush, which tells you the level it takes to beat him.

The way we see it, this one comes down to whether Nolan's length and output can keep Moicano at range for 25 minutes, because the veteran is comfortable dragging fights into deep water and finding submissions when opponents slow down.

Nolan has the momentum and the youth, but Moicano has the championship-rounds experience, and that gap is the story of the fight. Have a look at the latest UFC fight odds before Sunday to see how the market has it priced.

Randy Brown vs Jacobe Smith Lands on Short Notice

The co-main came together late, with Jacobe Smith stepping in on less than two weeks' notice after Carlos Leal pulled out injured, just four weeks on from beating Bruce Whitehead at UFC 332.

Brown has hovered just outside the welterweight top 15 for a while, winning eight of 10 between 2021 and 2025 with knockouts of Nicolas Dalby and Muslim Salikhov, although he has dropped his last two, to Gabriel Bonfim and then Kevin Holland earlier this year.

Jacobe Smith is the one to watch. The former Oklahoma State wrestler came through Dana White's Contender Series and has finished all four of his UFC opponents, three of them by knockout, so Brown is facing someone in rhythm who doesn't tend to need the judges.

UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Nolan Full Fight Card

The card has already been through a few changes, with Jacobe Smith replacing the injured Carlos Leal in the co-main, Dakota Hope stepping in against Francis Marshall, and the Azamat Bekoev vs Andre Petroski fight scrapped after a medical emergency.

Fight-week changes are always possible, but this is the line-up as it stands.

Main Card (11:00am AEDT)

• Renato Moicano vs Tom Nolan (lightweight)
• Randy Brown vs Jacobe Smith (welterweight)
• Yana Santos vs Luana Santos (women's bantamweight)
• Ode' Osbourne vs Cody Durden (flyweight)
• Zachary Reese vs Mickey Gall (middleweight)
• Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani vs Farman Hasanov (welterweight)

Prelims (8:00am AEDT)

• Lucia Szabova vs Tainara Lisboa (women's flyweight)
• Talita Alencar vs Piera Rodriguez (women's strawweight)
• Nick Klein vs Joseph Kropschot (middleweight)
• Julian Erosa vs JeongYeong Lee (featherweight)
• Rodrigo Sezinando vs Theodor Berggren (welterweight)
• Francis Marshall vs Dakota Hope- (featherweight)

Osbourne vs Durden is the one to keep an eye on further down the main card, because the pair have 22 finishes between them and Osbourne fights out of Las Vegas, so he'll have the local support.

The two Santos women also arrive on three-fight win streaks, and Yana Santos has a win over former champion Miesha Tate in that run. For a lean on the rest of the card, our UFC fight predictions are a good place to start.

With this card running through lightweight, welterweight, bantamweight, flyweight and middleweight bouts, a refresher on the UFC weight classes is handy for placing each matchup.
