How to Watch UFC 296: Edwards vs Covington - Prelims: Stream UFC Live, TV Channel

UFC returns to Las Vegas for an action-packed night of fights, with ESPN2 set to air the prelims for UFC 296.

Unbeaten in his last four fights, 36-year-old Alonzo Menifield (14-3-1) takes on Dustin Jacoby (19-7-1) in the UFC’s light heavyweight division tonight inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada with a ranking in the top-10 in the division likely going to the victor. Women’s bantamweight contender Irene Aldana (14-7) returns to the octagon after suffering her first loss in three years back in June via a unanimous decision to Amanda Nunes as she takes on Karol Rosa (17-5) who has seen all eight of her previous UFC bouts go to the judge’s scorecard. Rosa is 6-2 in the UFC but is 2-2 in her last four bouts.

Dustin Jacoby snapped his two-fight losing skid in August when he scored a knockout victory over Kennedy Nzechukwu. The win was Jacoby’s second consecutive win via knockout and his fourth since making his debut in the UFC in August of 2020.

In other action, former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt (13-5) aims for his first winning streak since 2016 as he faces Brian Kelleher (24-14). Garbrandt started his career 11-0 winning the tile over Dominick Cruz at UFC 207 in December of 2016 but since has lost five of his last seven with four of the five losses coming via knockout.

Australian Casey O’Neil (9-1) returns to action after her first career loss to Jennifer Maia in March as she takes on Ariane Lipski (16-8) who already has two wins in 2023 on her resume.
