U.F.C. 268
The U.F.C. altered the order of the main card to give Trevor Wittman more time to prepare his fighters.
Wittman trains the lightweight contender Justin Gaethje, the women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas and the welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. The original fight order placed those fighters consecutively as the final three bouts, meaning Wittman could have been a cornerman for potentially 13 straight rounds.
Now, with Gaethje facing Michael Chandler at the start of the pay-per-view card, Wittman has a two-fight pause before coaching Namajunas and Usman back-to-back in their title defenses.
