UFC 268 breakdown: Kamaru Usman is a heavy favorite against Colby Covington again

MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom breaks down the UFC’s top bouts. Today, we look at the main event for UFC 268.

Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) puts his title on the line against heated rival Colby Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) in the headliner rematch. Usman beat Covington with a fifth-round TKO at UFC 245 in December 2019 to retain his title.

Usman is a slight -340 favorite at Tipico; the comeback on Covington is +250.

UFC 268 takes place Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews/ESPN+ and early prelims on ESPN+.

Check out the video above for Tom’s breakdown of the fight and prediction.
