All eyes are on Madison Square Garden on Saturday night as UFC 268 is set to commence from the Big Apple. UFC returns to New York City after nearly two years away because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And the promotion did not disappoint with the fight card they lined up for fans in the Empire State. A pair of title fights top the marquee, including a welterweight rematch between champion Kamaru Usman and bitter rival Colby Covington.
Usman already holds one TKO victory over Covington, stopping him in the fifth round of their first meeting in December 2019. Usman has defended his title three more times since that fight, beating Jorge Masvidal twice and also stopping Gilbert Burns. Covington only has fought once since the loss to Usman, beating former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley via TKO.

Elsewhere, Rose Namajunas and Weili Zhang are set to run it back after Namajunas earned the women's strawweight crown in April with a vicious head kick knockout in the first round. The loss snapped a 20-fight win streak for Zhang as she catapulted to the top of the sport incredibly fast. Plus, the fight many fans have waited all year to finally see is here as Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler scrap it out in the PPV opener at lightweight. The bout is expected to produce the next title contender in the division after Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira battle in December.
