UFC 268: Head-to-head look at Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington 2

The UFC has a stacked card on the books for Saturday at Madison Square Garden. At the top of that event — UFC 268 — is a rematch between welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.

The first time these two met, Usman scored a late knockout to retain his 170-pound crown. The fight was up for grabs on the scorecards before Usman took the judges out of the equation at the 4:10 mark of the fifth and final round.

Since that bout, which headlined UFC 245, Usman has scored a decision over Jorge Masvidal, a TKO over Gilbert Burns and a knockout of Masvidal in defense of his UFC crown.
