Rafael dos Anjos and Colby Covington will, in fact, square off for the UFC interim welterweight championship.
But on Friday, the UFC revealed the match will be held at UFC 225 in Chicago on June 9, rather than the initially reported date of May 12 at UFC 224 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The company made the announcement during the UFC’s 25th Anniversary press conference at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
