Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will be back in action later tonight (Sat., Apr. 24, 2021) to stage UFC 261 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., with a welterweight rematch between UFC champion Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal serving as the main event. This will be the first time UFC is having a sold out crowd since the COVID-19 pandemic started in early 2020.

Before the welterweight rematch unfolds a collection of UFC 261 PPV and “Prelims” matchups will play out in violent fashion. From a co-main event between reigning UFC women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili and Rose Namajunas to a women’s flyweight clash pitting current titleholder Valentina Shevchenko against Jessica Andrade, UFC 261 should be able to deliver the goods from start to finish.
