Bloody Elbow presents its fight week coverage for UFC 268, which goes down on Saturday, November 6th at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main event is a welterweight championship rematch between reigning champion Kamaru Usman and former interim champ Colby Covington. Usman defeated Covington by fifth-round TKO in their first matchup at UFC 245 in 2019.

The co-main event is a women’s strawweight title rematch between champion Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili, whom Namajunas knocked out in 78 seconds to capture the title at UFC 261 in April. In the biggest non-title fight on the card, lightweight strike Justin Gaethje battles Michael Chandler in a three-round bout that figures to be all action, all the time for however long it lasts.
