The Octagon remains in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 11 event, a fourteen-bout fight card headlined by Colby Covington vs. Tyron Woodley.
The former UFC welterweight champion, Woodley (19-5-1 MMA), will enter tonight’s grudge match with Covington looking to rebound from a two-fight losing streak. In his most recent efforts ‘The Chosen One’ suffered unanimous decision losses to Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns.
Meanwhile, Colby Covington (15 -2 MMA) was most recently seen in action at UFC Newark in August of 2019, where he scored a lopsided decision victory over Robbie Lawler. Prior to his win over ‘Ruthless’, the former interim welterweight title holder in ‘Chaos’ was coming off a TKO loss to reigning 170-pound kingpin Kamaru Usman.

Cerrone (36-15 MMA) will enter tonight’s bout with Price looking to snap a three-fight losing skid, his latest being a unanimous decision setback to Anthony Pettis. Prior to his loss to ‘Showtime’, ‘Cowboy’ had suffered a rather humiliating loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 246.
As for Niko Price (14-4 MMA), ‘The Hybrid’ will enter UFC Vegas 11 looking to rebound from a TKO loss to Vicente Luque at UFC 249. Prior to the setback, Price was coming off a knockout victory over James Vick which occurred in October of 2019.
Also featured on tonight’s fight card is a middleweight contest between rising star Khamzat Chimaev and seasoned veteran Gerald Meerschaert.
Chimaev will be looking to extend his undefeated record to 9-0 with a victory over Meerschaert this evening. The Swedish prospect is coming off a first-round TKO victory over Rhys McKee in his most recent effort this past July.
As for Gerald Meerschaert (31-13 MMA), the Wisconsin native suffered a TKO setback to Ian Heinisch in his most recent Octagon appearance at UFC 250. Prior to the loss, Meerschaert was coming off a sensational submission win over Deron Winn at UFC 248.
