The UFC is back in T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, with its 14th and final event of the year with a pair of title fights. A total of 12 fights are scheduled for the UFC 296 stacked card, headlined by Edwards defending his UFC welterweight championship belt against Colby Covington.
In the co-main event, new flyweight king Alexandre Pantoja takes his first test against Brandon Royval. Pantoja captured the flyweight championship from Brandon Moreno in a five-round split decision at UFC 290 that earned Fight of the Night honors.
