UFC 268 returns to Madison Square Garden next month with a stacked card featuring two world title fights.
The main event sees Kamaru Usman defend his welterweight title in a rematch with Colby Covington, a man he defeated in December 2019.
‘Chaos’ did give the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ the closest test of his title reign to date and Usman will need to silence Covington once and for all.
The co-main event features Rose Namajunas defending her UFC women’s strawweight title against the woman she won it off, Zhang Weili.
Also on the main card, number two ranked lightweight Justin Gaethje takes on the number four ranked Michael Chandler.
It should be an incredible night of UFC main event action and here’s everything you need to know about it…

UFC 268: What has been said?
Dana White: “Every Saturday, I want to put on the best fights that I can possibly put on.
“But when you go to a building like MSG, and it’s our first time back in a couple of years, you want to deliver, and you want to come out with a bang.
“The main event was one of the great fights you’ll ever see, the co-main event was one of the most shocking and I think it’s the fight that everybody wants to see again.
“And then you go right down the line of all the other fights on the card. Every fight on there could be the main event on a Fight Night. So it’s a badass card.”
