UFC 261 offers the most exciting card of the year thus far, delivering three title fights and a pair of compelling nontitle matchups.
The headliner is welterweight champion Kamaru Usman against Jorge Masvidal. These two are running it back from July, when Masvidal took the fight on only six days’ notice after scheduled opponent Gilbert Burns tested positive for COVID-19. Usman dominated the bout, winning by unanimous decision, but Masvidal is confident that a full training camp will provide the difference in the rematch.
Valentina Shevchenko also defends her flyweight championship against Jéssica Andrade.
