The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to ESPN airwaves for its first event of August.
The 12-fight UFC on ESPN 50 card is now official after the weigh-ins took place. The main event is a 140-pound catchweight battle between bantamweight contenders Cory Sandhagen and Rob Font, who both made weight. "The Sandman" was initially set to face Umar Nurmagomedov, although an injury to the Dagestani fighter led to Font (20-6) accepting the fight on short notice. All fighters on the card made weight except for late-notice replacement Dennis Buzukja, who came in .5 pounds over the featherweight limit.

Meanwhile, Font recently snapped a two-fight losing streak by picking up a TKO win over Adrian Yanez. The 36-year-old has a chance to cement himself once again as one of the division's top fighters with an upset win. Prior to losses to Vera and Jose Aldo, Font had won four straight fights. Font officially weighed 139 pounds.
UFC on ESPN 50 will air in its entirety on ESPN and ESPN+. Prelims begin at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
