Kamaru Usman will defend his welterweight title in a rematch against Colby Covington in the main event. In his first defence of the welterweight title at UFC 235, Usman defeated Covington by TKO in the closing moments of a five-round slugfest. He has since defended the title three more times, while Covington rebounded from that loss with a dominant fifth-round TKO of Tyron Woodley in September of last year.
The co-main event features a strawweight championship rematch between Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili. Namajunas regained her strawweight title with a shocking first-round knockout of Zhang at UFC 261 in April. It was just the second loss for Zhang in 23 pro bouts. The two now meet in an immediate rematch.
We'll also see Justin Gaethje look to get back on track after losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254 last October. He'll be taking on former Bellator champion, Michael Chandler.
