The UFC’s return to New Jersey has taken shape in a big way. On Tuesday, the promotion announced 10 bouts for UFC on ESPN 5, which takes place Aug. 3 at Prudential Center in Newark and airs entirely on ESPN. Headlining the card, a clash between former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and former champ Robbie Lawler (28-13 MMA, 13-7 UFC) is slated for the event . In the co-main event, light heavyweights collide as Volkan Oezdemir (15-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) battles Ilir Latifi (14-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC). The pair of ranked 205-pound hitters originally was slated to square off at UFC on ESPN+11, but a fight week injury forced Latifi out of the bout.
