Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington 2 highlights a stacked card and is the main event from UFC 268. Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington highlights a big rematch from Madison Square Garden. Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington 2 Live poll as we head to UFC 268 live from New York. Colby Covington is looking for revenge as he was defeated in the first matchup. Usman comes in as the betting favorite. Of course, everything is built around ESPN's No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, who will seek his fifth title defense against rival Colby Covington. The title fight is a rematch of their epic first meeting in December 2019, when Covington landed 143 total strikes on Usman but came up short via TKO. In the co-main event, strawweight champion Rose Namajunas will defend her title against former champ Zhang Weili, whom she took the belt from via first-round knockout in April. Zhang, who is from China, made significant changes to her camp for this rematch, relocating her entire preparations to Arizona under Henry Cejudo and Team Fight Ready.
And in one of the most anticipated lightweight bouts of the year, Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler, both former UFC title challengers and champions outside of the UFC, will meet in a three-round bout that will likely determine the next challenger at 155 pounds.
Those three bouts will share the majority of the spotlight, but a featherweight matchup between Billy Quarantillo and Shane Burgos is capable of stealing the show due to the stylistic matchup. And the card also features former lightweight champion and three-time featherweight title challenger Frankie Edgar facing Marlon "Chito" Vera.
It's a phenomenal card, spearheaded by a welterweight title fight with stakes that go beyond just a belt. Usman is no longer simply defending a belt. He's working on defining a lasting legacy. Covington, who has fought only once since losing to Usman in 2019, realizes he won't get another chance at a title any time soon if he comes up short again.
