The UFC 268 live stream has a whole lot of gold at stake, and old foes returning for revenge. At the very top of the card, the UFC Welterweight Championship is on the line when Kamaru Usman looks to fend off Colby Covington (again).
The UFC 268 main card is tonight (Nov. 6) at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. That's 4 a.m. GMT on Sunday, Nov. 7 in the UK.
Usman vs Covington 2 ring-walks should happen at around 11:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. PT / 3:30 a.m. GMT — but they could always go on earlier.
The event is going to be live from the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Next PPV: UFC 269
The last time they fought, Usman took the win in a fifth-round stoppage, and this rematch looks to settle things. Except, you know, if Covington wins. That would only lead to a rubber-match between the two. Odds favor Usman (-290 to Covington's +245), and with good reason. His fighting skills have improved significantly since the two last faced off.
And Covington? Well, he beat Tyron Woodley, but as Shania Twain once said — and yes, you can quote Shania Twain in a UFC article — "that don't impress me much." Usman's bringing a lot more to the table than Woodley did.
Also tonight, Rose Namajunas is defending her UFC Women's Strawweight Championship against Zhang Weili, and this one is practically too close to call (Vegas agrees: the champ is at -106 and the challenger is at -114.
The other UFC 268 match of note is the lightweight brawl that has Justin Gaethje (-220) as a favorite over Michael Chandler (+180). The former is seen as much more adept at going the distance and counter punching.
