In this era of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, fights are not official until the cage door closes.

The UFC rolls on with its busy August with UFC on ESPN 15. The card is headlined by former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar making his bantamweight debut against Pedro Munhoz. Despite two straight losses to Chan Sung Jung and Max Holloway, Edgar (23-8-1) once again finds himself headlining a UFC event. “The Answer” has spent the past seven years at featherweight and had plenty of success despite never gaining a second title. He’ll look to cement himself as a threat at 135 pounds with a victory at the expense of Munhoz. Ever the professional, Edgar has no issue making weight and came in at 135.5 pounds.

Also coming off a loss is Munhoz (18-4, 1 NC), who dropped a decision to top contender Aljamain Sterling. Prior to that setback, the Brazilian had racked up three wins including a knockout over former champion Cody Garbrandt. “The Young Punisher,” who is 33, officially weighed 136 pounds.

The 10-fight card has undergone some substantial changes for a myriad of reasons on Friday. According to a report from TASS on Thursday, Mark Striegl tested positive for COVID-19, which led to Trevin Jones taking a short-notice match against Timur Valiev at a 140-pound catchweight. Additionally, Takashi Sato made weight at 170.5 pounds, but when he was unable to clear his medicals, his match with Daniel Rodriguez was canceled. Finally, Calen Born did not attend weigh-ins, and his bout against Dwight Grant was also scratched. The promotion has since announced that welterweights Rodriguez and Grant will be paired up to keep them on the card.

UFC on ESPN 15 will kick off with preliminary action on ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. The main card will then air at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT on ESPN and ESPN+.
