Background
What was once a white whale destination for UFC (and MMA in general,) new laws have allowed the sport to return to New York, and the UFC has often saved a trip to the venue for big fights at the beginning of November. UFC 268 will mark the first time the UFC has held an event in Madison Square Garden since 2019. For the UFC, it doesn’t get much bigger than a rematch between Usman and Covington. The pair put on a show during their last bout when Usman defeated the challenger by fifth-round TKO. Can Usman repeat history on Saturday night? Or will Covington avenge his most recent defeat?
In the other title fight, Rose Namajunas hopes to keep her good vibes going. The last time she visited MSG back in November 2017, Rose Namajunas captured her first Strawweight title and defeated Weili in April to capture her second. Will Weili win her belt back or can Namajunas put her foe in the rearview for good?
