UFC 268 is just days away now, and could like a classic in the making. Not only does UFC 268 feature two incredibly compelling title fights, it also plays host to some potential fight of the year candidates.
In the main event we have a rematch of one of the greatest title fights of all time in Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington. Last time these two wrestlers fought they beat the ever loving hell out of one another on the feet.
Start time:
But the title fight rematch between Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili could be even more intriguing. Last time they fought Namajunas knocked Weili out with a spectacular head kick in the first round.
I don’t see that happening this time. This will most likely be a striking clinic between two of the best strikers in the UFC. Absolutely cannot wait for this.
