The main event of UFC Tampa between Colby Covington and Joaquin Buckley could have a major impact on the welterweight division. If Covington loses, he may very well find himself out of the UFC welterweight title picture for good. Should that be the case, Buckley will emerge as a new threat in the 170-pound weight class.
On the flipside, a win for Covington keeps him near the top of the heap at welterweight.
