UFC Fight Night 175


UFC Fight Night 175 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on August 22, 2020 at the UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

Background

While not officially announced by the organization, a bantamweight bout between Pedro Munhoz and former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar has been targeted to serve as the event headliner. The pairing was initially scheduled to take place at UFC 251. It was then moved four days later to bolster. On July 6, it was announced that the bout was scrapped due to Munhoz testing positive for COVID-19. The pairing remained intact and was rescheduled for UFC 252. UFC officials had initially targeted a welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley and former interim champion Colby Covington to serve as the event headliner, but Woodley announced that the date did not provide him with time suitable enough to prepare because of injuries incurred during his most recent fight.
A middleweight bout between former three-time title challenger Yoel Romero and Uriah Hall is in the works for this event.
