The iconic Madison Square Garden plays host to one of the biggest fight nights of 2021 as UFC 268 brings a card stacked with top-drawer matchups to New York City.
Headlining the event is a rematch for the undisputed UFC welterweight title, as reigning champion Kamaru Usman puts his belt on the line in a rematch against his biggest rival, former interim champ Colby Covington.
The co-main event also features world championship action, as strawweight champion Rose Namajunas takes on the woman she knocked out to reclaim the title, China’s Zhang Weili.
There’s also a pivotal matchup in the UFC’s talent-stacked lightweight division, as former interim champion Justin Gaethje takes on former Bellator champion Michael Chandler in a bout that could potentially propel the victor into a title fight early in 2022.
