What time is UFC 268 tonight? Live stream info, start time, how to watch Usman vs. Covington 2

Kamaru Usman will put his UFC welterweight title on the line when he faces Colby Covington at UFC 268 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The famous venue holds a long-anticipated rematch, with the first Usman vs. Covington a certain MMA all-time classic.

The pair first fought at the end of 2019, before the impact of the coronavirus was felt across the world. We may have had to wait less time for a rerun without Covid, but now is the chance for the argument to be settled once and for all.

Usman secured the win the first time around, when he stopped his opponent in the final round.

There's plenty of other action before then with the women's strawweight title fight between Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili, and an exciting lightweight clash between two former UFC lightweight title challengers, Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler.
