Kamaru Usman, one of the best fighters on the planet.
UFC 268 kicks off today and could be a classic event 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. Will they do the same in the rematch? Hard to say. I’d expect a little more wrestling in this one, but wrestler vs. wrestler match-ups tend to be fought standing, so I’m expecting another war.
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.
Perhaps the most exciting fight on the card is a contest between Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler. Considering both are wild men typically involved in absolute slug fests, you can expect an instant classic.
