On Saturday, Aug. 3, the UFC hosted its fifth event on ESPN from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
In the night’s main event, former UFC interim welterweight titleholder Colby Covington took on former champion Robbie Lawler. Covington entered the match-up riding a six-fight winning streak that dated back to 2015. The veteran Lawler aimed to snap a two-fight skid. He was most recently in action at UFC 235 and was controversially submitted by Ben Askren.
The co-main event pitted two of the longest-tenured lightweights against one another as New Jersey’s Jim Miller met Clay Guida.
The 12-fight event kicked off with six preliminary-card fights airing live on ESPN at 12 p.m. ET. The six-fight main card followed at 3 p.m. ET, also on ESPN.
