Two Title Rematches Highlight Event

UFC 268’s defending champions, Kamaru Usman and Rose Namajunas, will both face their opponents for the second time in their career.

Usman, who was recently ranked the No. 1 pound-for-pound in the world, will attempt to defend his welterweight title against Colby Covington for the second time. They last faced each other at UFC 245 in 2019, in what was a back-and-forth bout before Usman managed to put the challenger away in the fifth and final round.

Usman has won three fights since the last time these two faced each other, and he’s still yet to lose in his UFC career.

Namajunas and Zhang will serve as an immediate rematch. The two fought in April of this year at UFC 261, and Namajunas defeated Zhang via first round KO to capture the strawweight belt for the second time.

Despite the first round loss, Zhang is set as the slight -115 betting favorite this time around.

The main card will begin at 10pm eastern on Saturday night.
