UFC closes out its 2024 campaign with a welterweight clash between three-time title challenger Colby Covington and one of the hottest fighters in the division, Joaquin Buckley. The bout headlines UFC Fight Night on Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
The main card will begin at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPN+, with prelims starting at 7 p.m.
Covington (17-4) ends his yearlong hiatus since challenging Leon Edwards for the welterweight title in December 2023 at UFC 296 in Las Vegas. Covington, 36, is 16-1 in non-title matchups.
Buckley (20-6) shifted to the welterweight ranks last year and has been rolling ever since, winning five straight matches to climb into the top 10. Buckley, 30, stopped Stephen Thompson with a leaping right hand in his last fight at UFC 307 in Salt Lake City.
