If you’re in Las Vegas for this week’s UFC 232 card … well, sorry. You’ll need to head to SoCal.

By now, you’ve certainly heard UFC 232 moved from “Sin City” to the Los Angeles area. And if you’re going to be there, you have a couple of fight-week events you can attend for free.

UFC 232 takes place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. It was shifted to California in the wake of a Jon Jones drug testing abnormality when Nevada couldn’t get on board with licensing him to fight without more time.

In the main event, Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) meets Alexander Gustafsson (18-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in a rematch, and the winner will become the new light heavyweight champion. In the co-feature, women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (20-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) meets bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes (16-4 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who is moving up 10 pounds to challenge for a second title.

Prior to the event, fans can attend a couple pre-event activities, including:

Thursday (1 p.m. PT local time): UFC 232 news conference in Los Angeles at a location still to be determined (follow the UFC on Twitter to stay abreast of location information). Jones, Gustafsson, Cyborg and Nunes, along with UFC President Dana White, will take part in a press conference for the media and fans in attendance. Doors open at 1 p.m. and the event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

Friday (3 p.m. ET): UFC 232 ceremonial weigh-ins at The Forum, 3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, Calif. The fighters will step on the scale for the fans and media, then face off one final time before Saturday’s card. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the weigh-ins take place at 4 p.m.
