Tonight’s headliner has been long in the making. In December 2019 at UFC 245, freshly crowned welterweight champ Kamaru Usman had his first title defense after defeating former champion Tyron Woodley. Usman faced Colby Covington in what would be one of the fiercest and most explosive battles of the year. The fight went into the final minute of the last round, with both men dishing out and taking heavy blows before Usman finally managed to finish his opponent via TKO stoppage with less than a minute to go before the bell.

The UFC’s two top-ranked welterweights have one of the most intense rivalries in the world of MMA, and it didn’t take long for talks of a rematch to start. Now, almost two years later, it’s finally happening (Usman has successfully defended his title three more times since UFC 245), and if you want to watch UFC 268 live, now’s the time to sign up for ESPN+ and grab the pay-per-view. The main card begins at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT.
