UFC 268 pre-event facts: Kamaru Usman threatening Anderson Silva’s win-streak record

The UFC returns to New York City for the first time in two years on Saturday with UFC 268 at Madison Square Garden. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNNews and ESPN+.

A pair of championship rematches headline the card. In the main event, Kamaru Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) puts his welterweight championship on the line for the fifth time in a highly anticipated grudge match with rival Colby Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC), whom he beat by fifth-round TKO at UFC 245 in December 2019.

The co-headline will see Rose Namajunas (10-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) attempt to make the first defense in her second strawweight title reign when she clashes with Zhang Weili (21-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC), whom she took the belt from by 78-second knockout at UFC 261 in April.
