UFC 261: Previewing Kamaru Usman-Jorge Masvidal 2 and Other Matches on the Card

Aaaaaannd, we're back.

The UFC, which has spent most of the last year producing shows in fan-free venues, will return to something approaching octagonal normal on Saturday night with a pay-per-view event in Jacksonville, Florida.

The promotion's UFC 261 event is set for the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, where Dana White said a crowd of 15,000 fans will see a 14-bout show featuring three championship matches. The same venue hosted UFC 249 and two Fight Night events across eight days last May but no fans were permitted in the building.

This weekend's show is headlined by welterweights Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal in a championship rematch.
