After kind of keeping a low profile through the past month or so, the UFC is hoping to close out 2019 with a bang starting Saturday night.
UFC 245 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is set to host three title fights. Colby Covington challenges Kamaru Usman in the main event for the UFC welterweight title.
