The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Madison Square Garden on Saturday with what is perhaps its most loaded card of 2021, an event that features two championship fights and a No. 1 contender identifier for the promotion’s most competitive division.
The pay-per-view, sold in the United States by ESPN+, begins at 10 p.m. Eastern and costs $69.99.

Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington
Kamaru Usman became the welterweight champion in 2019 after defeating the former champion, Tyron Woodley, via decision.
