We’ve got a STACKED UFC pay-per-view card to look forward to this weekend, as current welterweight champion Kamaru Usman faces off against former interim champ Colby Covington to retain his title. Beyond that hotly-anticipated rematch though, MMA fans can look forward to two other harrowing title fights headlining UFC 268.

The UFC Women’s Strawweight Championship is set to see its own hotly hyped-up rematch, as current two-time champ Rose Namajunas gears up to defend her title against former strawweight champion Zhang Weili for a second high-profile bout. The last time both pairings met, Usman thoroughly cleaned Covington’s clock with a fifth-round TKO at UFC 245, while Namajunas swiftly, efficiently knocked Weili’s lights out with a left head kick just 1:18 into the first round at UFC 261.

Third on the main fight card is a lower profile, lower hype, but still exciting faceoff, as Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler contend for the UFC lightweight championship title. The early prelims are set to kick off this Saturday at 6:00 EST, live from Madison Square Garden, but Draftkings Sportsbook has a really exciting free bet promo open for the main event card. Here’s what you should know!
