The UFC hosts its final PPV event of the year in Las Vegas this weekend, and with it comes three competitive title fights. UFC 245 will be headlined by Colby Covington, a former interim title holder at 170lbs, challenging for Kamaru Usman’s welterweight title.
In the co-main event, Alexander Volkanovski will look to bring about an end to the Blessed Era, as he challenges long-time featherweight king Max Holloway. And finally, double-champ Amanda Nunes will put her bantamweight belt on the line against Germain de Randmie, the former women’s featherweight champion.
All fighters made weight for Saturday’s card, save for Jessica Eye, who came in a full five pounds over the flyweight limit.
