UFC on ESPN 4: dos Anjos vs. Edwards fight card and schedule

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to San Antonio for the first time since 2014 to host UFC on ESPN 4: dos Anjos vs. Edwards at the AT&T Center on Saturday (July 20).

UFC on ESPN 4 will take place on July 20

Bengaluru, July 19: The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to San Antonio for the first time since 2014 to host UFC on ESPN 4: dos Anjos vs. Edwards at the AT&T Center on Saturday (July 20).

The second promotional visit is set to be headlined by a welterweight bout between former Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos and Leon Edwards.

Dos Anjos comes into the weekend's bout fresh off a fourth-round submission win over Kevin Lee at Fight Night in Rochester last month. That result meant the Brazilian snapped a two-fight losing streak.

RDA is 4-2 since climbing up to welterweight with his only losses coming to champion Kamaru Usman and former interim champ Colby Covington.

Edwards, on the other hand, has won seven straight and is nearing title contention. In his most recent outing, the Brit defeated Gunnar Nelson by split decision at Fight Night London earlier this year in March. "Rocky" Edwards in fact has not lost since his loss to Usman back in 2015.

The even will also feature a trio of exciting heavyweight bouts guaranteed to deliver fireworks for fight fans with submission ace and No. 9 ranked contender Aleksei Oleinik taking on dangerous No.14 Walt Harris in the co-main event in a battle of finishers.

Meanwhile in the other two heavyweight bouts, hard-hitting strikers will collide when Greg Hardy squares off with Juan Adams and in a highly anticipated rematch, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski runs it back with Ben Rothwell.

Also at UFC San Antonio, James Vick and Dan Hooker will meet in a battle of exciting lightweight performers, while Alexander Hernandez takes on Francisco Trinaldo in another lightweight bout to round off the main card.

In the preliminary card, Irene Aldana will take on Raquel Pennington in a key women's bantamweight matchup. Meanwhile, the likes of Sam Alvey, Alex Caceres, Steven Peterson, Roxanne Modafferi, Jennifer Maia and Ray Borg will also be in action.
