With early and ceremonial weigh-ins officially completed, fight fans can now catch the final staredowns ahead of UFC Tampa tomorrow night (Sat., Dec. 14, 2024) at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
The last card of the year, UFC Tampa, promises to elevate the excitement beyond the standard free card hosted at the Apex. In the main event, three-time title challenger Colby Covington will strive to defend his No. 6 position against the rising knockout artist Joaquin Buckley. Additionally, fans can look forward to action-packed bouts featuring established fighters such as Cub Swanson, Adrian Yanez, and Vitor Petrino on the main card.
There are also plenty of entertaining clashes set for the “Prelims.” Veteran fighter Michael Johnson is always ready for a slugfest, and he’ll face off against Ottman Azaitar, who is known for his kill-or-be-killed fighting style. Another highlight includes an intriguing Lightweight matchup between Joel Alvarez and Drakkar Klose, which could arguably serve as a co-main event. Fans of “Dangerous” Davey Grant will not want to miss his brawls, given his action-filled performances over the last five years.
