An unmissable night is the one that UFC 268 will have with an event of tremendous fights that prepares the competition of Dana White and that this Saturday will present a first-rate star. Reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman , who has been in great fights defending his title, has a new challenger: Colby Covington in a long-awaited rematch.
The two already met in December 2019 at UFC 245, a day on which Usman had no problem defeating Covington with a series of punches in the fifth round . In this second fight, the 33-year-old American will seek to take the title from the Nigerian.
With a stat of 19 wins and only one loss, the latter in 2013, Kamaru Usman is the top favorite to win the championship belt. This year he has been unstoppable and won his two fights with knockouts: in February at UFC 258 over Gilbert Burns in the third round, and in April Jorge Masvidal in just two rounds, at UFC 261.
