UFC is back for a second PPV in as many weeks, and it’s coming to us live from the most famous arena in America. UFC 268 is taking place at Madison Square Garden and will feature a pair of title fights atop the card.
The main event of the night will see welterweight champ Kamaru Usman fight No. 1 contender Colby Covington in a rematch of UFC 245. Usman won that bout with a fifth round TKO. The co-main event of the evening will feature strawweight champion Rose Namajunas fighting No. 1 contender Zhang Weili in a rematch of their UFC 261 title bout in April. Namajunas knocked out Weili in the first round with a head kick.
The card will feature plenty of other talent, including a huge lightweight contenders bout between Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler. We’ll be tracking full results throughout the evening. Below is the full card and how odds have settled just before the event gets started. We’ve got moneyline odds and winning method odds, and will note the betting result for each fight.
UFC 268: Usman vs. Covington main card, 10 p.m. ET, ESPN+
Main event: Kamaru Usman (c) vs. #1 Colby Covington, for welterweight championship
Kamaru Usman wins by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46)
A close fight, but the right decision. Usman was ahead on total strikes 154-102, and 107-97 with significant strikes. This is the fifth defense for Usman, who now has cleaned out everyone at welterweight. Does he change weight classes, or perhaps move to another opportunity against Canelo Alvarez? We’ll see what happens.

Covington: +250
Usman by KO/TKO/DQ: +150
Usman by submission: +1100

Co-main event: Rose Namajunas (c) vs. #1 Zhang Weili, for strawweight championship
Rose Namajunas wins by split decision (48-47, 49-46, 47-48)
Probably the right decision, but still a close fight. Thug Rose defends her title thanks to 7:00 of fight control to just 3:37 for Zhang. At this point, Namajunas has basically cleaned out the division, so we’ll see what is her next move at 105 lbs. Does she move up and challenge Valentina Shevchenko?
