UFC 268 Preview

Kamaru Usman aims for another title defense as he faces Colby Covington in the main event of UFC 268 on Saturday. The two have engaged in some major jawing leading up to their title rematch, which Usman won by fifth-round KO in their 2019 scrap.

“I just want to say I’m blessed to be in this position, to be able to deliver another performance like we did the first time,” Usman said Friday at UFC 268’s weigh-ins in New York. “If he did his homework, it’s going to be an amazing fight.

“But if he didn’t, I’m going to put his b*tch ass away early.”

Covington has won his only fight since losing to Usman, besting Tyron Woodley via TKO in their bout more than a year ago.

“I have a new sense of motivation around me,” said Covington. “I brought in new coaches, new training partners, and we have a new approach to my game. And honestly, they brought something out of me that I didn’t think I had in me. I know how much heart and how much will I have, but now I’m technical and now I’m smarter in my approach and I feel like this is my time, and I’m gonna get it done and be the UFC world champion.”

The other title fight features champ Rose Namajunas against Zhang Weili. Namajunas won via a shocking first-round head kick when they met up in April of this year.

Namajunas made some political comments aimed at Zhang which have added some spice to their rematch.

“I was bothered by what she had said,” Zhang told Yahoo Sports. “The political comments Rose made got the audience not to support me. It was beyond [fair play]. It crossed a line. I don’t feel as friendly toward Rose as a fellow mixed martial artist as I did before. I have a lot more training and I have had a lot more focus on myself.”
