The Ultimate Fighting Championship hosts a rare afternoon card in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday for UFC on ESPN 5, and two fighters came in heavy.
In the main event, former interim welterweight title holder Colby Covington (171) will return after more than a year off to take on former champ Robbie Lawler (170). "Chaos" last fought at UFC 225 in June 2018, where he beat Rafael dos Anjos by decision. "Ruthless" meanwhile, is coming off of a controversial submission loss to Ben Askren at UFC 235.
