The UFC is back this weekend with a pay-per-view event (which you can order on ESPN+) from Jacksonville, Fla. where a full crowd will be in attendance for UFC 261, which has three title fights filling out the end of a very good main card.
Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal are the main event and will be fighting for Usman’s welterweight belt. This, of course, is a rematch from their fight last July which Usman won via decision but it was also a fight that Masvidal took on just a few days notice.
The co-main event has strawweight champ Weili Zhang defending her belt against former champ Rose Namajunas.
The third title fight has women’s flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko looking to defend his title against Jessica Andrade.
Here are all the fights set to take place Saturday night in Jacksonville.
