Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, NCAA division one wrestler and three-time UFC welterweight title challenger Colby Covington looks to defend his status as the number-six ranked welterweight this weekend when he takes on the number-nine ranked Joaquin Buckley in the main event.
Covington is one of the most inactive fighters in the welterweight division, having only fought once per year since 2020. However, despite being 3-3 in his last six fights, those three losses were all against champions.
Joaquin Buckley has climbed the ranks incredibly fast recently. He is currently on a five-fight winning streak that has seen him defeat the likes of Alex Morono, Vicente Luque and, most recently, Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.
Buckley is six-years younger than Convington and will enjoy a four-inch advantage in reach. Covington will stand three-inches taller and likely has the advantage in cardio and stamina.
Somewhat surprisingly, Covington will enter this main event as a notable +230 underdog at FanDuel.

Number-nine ranked flyweight Manel Kape will take on the number-12 ranked Bruno Gustavo da Silva in the flyweight division. This is likely to be a striker vs grappler matchup, with Kape looking to utilize his muay thai training in Thailand and da Silva looking to show off his BJJ black belt.
Kape recently had a four-fight winning streak snapped when he lost via unanimous decision to Muhammad Mokaev back in July.
Bruno Gustavo da Silva has won his last four straight and is coming off of a second-round TKO win over Cody Durden. He has earned a performance bonus in all four fights of his winning streak.
Despite those stats, it is Kape who is favored to win. He is listed at -390 at FanDuel.
