Matt Brown stops by to talk UFC on ESPN 5: Covington vs. Lawler
June M. Williams
Zane Simon & Connor Rueubsch are joined by ‘The Immortal’ Matt Brown to break down this week’s UFC event in Newark, NJ. With picks and odds for every bout on the card. From Robbie Lawler vs. Colby Covington in the main event down to Miranda Granger vs. Hannah Goldy in the opening prelim.
Another week, another UFC card that leaves a bit to be desired beyond the main and co-main event. This time around the world’s largest MMA promotion is headed to New Jersey, where welterweight top contender Colby Covington will take on former champion Robbie Lawler. Earlier in the evening, longtime veteran action fighters Jim Miller and Clay Guida will meet for the first time in their prodigious careers. Beyond that? Mileage may vary.
