An epic championship rematch between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington headlines this weekend's UFC 268. MikeyJ_MMA has everything you need to know in this betting guide.
Last week saw a main event upset when Glover Teixeira tapped Jan Blachowicz at UFC 267 on Fight Island and the organization has upped the ante for this weekend’s UFC 268.
During his rise to stardom and an interim title, Covington became among the most polarizing figures in MMA, partly due to his outspoken support for former U.S. President Donald Trump. Covington also took some personal shots at Usman to get under his opponent’s skin, often mentioning the fact Usman’s father had previously served time in prison. Many fans, media members and Usman himself felt those comments crossed a line beyond the realm of standard sports trash talk.
Usman is the hero champion as Covington continues to be perceived as the villain challenger. Ironically, or perhaps not, Covington and Jones were roommates at Iowa Central Community College years before either debuted in the UFC.
