“UFC on FOX 19: Teixeira vs. Evans” goes down Saturday night inside Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. UFC Fight Pass streams the first three preliminary bouts live starting at 4:30PM ET/1:30PM PT.
FOX handles everything else from there. The remaining prelims begin at 6PM ET/3PM PT. The main card immediately after at 8PM ET/5PM PT.
A light heavyweight affair between former champion Rashad Evans and Glover Teixeira headlines the festivities. Strawweight contenders Rose Namajunas and Tecia Torres meet in the co-main event.
This card hasn’t been short on drama. Two fighters, Lyoto Machida and Islam Makhachev, were pulled this week after getting flagged for failed drug tests.
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson were originally slated as the show’s main event, but Ferguson was forced to withdraw 10 days prior to showtime with fluid in his lungs. Nurmagomedov now welcomes Darrell Horcher to the big leagues in a 160-pound catchweight contest.
