Usman and Covington run it back on Nov. 6 in New York City
1 min read
In the main event of UFC 268 on Nov. 6, bitter rivals Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington will battle for Usman’s welterweight championship for a second time. That fight is not the only championship rematch set for the event, with Rose Namajunas defending the women’s strawweight title against Weili Zhang, the woman Namajunas knocked out to win the title for a second time in her career.
Usman and Covington put on an all-out war in December 2019, with Usman scoring a late TKO after breaking Covington’s jaw. Covington has gone as far as to suggest there was a conspiracy against him in the first meeting. While Usman has gone on to score wins over Jorge Masvidal (twice) and Gilbert Burns, Covington only picked up one win since losing to Usman, stopping former champion Tyron Woodley.
Below is the latest announced fight card with some rumored bouts included. Odds are via Caesars Sportsbook.
