The UFC closes out its 2024 calendar this Saturday (December 14) with a UFC Fight Night card at Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL.

Colby Covington vs. Joaquin Buckley

The main event will see Colby Covington attempt to keep his hopes of another welterweight title shot alive when he takes on #9-ranked contender Joaquin Buckley.

“Chaos” is coming off a third failed undisputed title bid against Leon Edwards at UFC 296, and now the former interim titleholder is tasked with handing Buckley his first welterweight loss after stepping in to replace Ian Machado Garry at UFC Tampa.

The co-main event is a featherweight clash between Billy Quarantillo and longtime WEC and UFC veteran Cub Swanson.

Both men have alternated wins and losses across their last seven fights, and after each of them came up short in their only other outings this year they’ll try to avoid suffering back-to-back defeats in what should be an entertaining featherweight scrap.
