We are a little over 24 hours away from one of the biggest mixed martial arts (MMA) cards of the year as UFC 268 is set to go down from inside Madison Square Garden Saturday night (Nov. 6, 2021) in New York City.
Headlining the event will be a Welterweight championship rematch between division king Kamaru Usman taking on his bitter rival, Colby Covington. The co-main event will feature another championship rematch as Rose Namajunas defends her women’s Strawweight title against Zhang Weili.
Before all the stars — including Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler — throw down in the center of the cage, let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at all of their final preparations ahead of the big night thanks to the ever-present cameras of “Embedded.”
