There’s nothing like a rematch, especially when its between two bona fide UFC legends like Kamaru “The Nigerian Nightmare” Usman and Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal.
UFC 261 is tonight and it promises to deliver some much need fight night fireworks, especially in the wake of whatever-the-heck you’d call the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren spectacle.
Usman vs. Masvidal is a rematch from the “Fight Island” fight last July, a monumental undertaking for Dana White and company. As you’ll recall, Usman was crowned the king of Fight Island. For the rematch, Usman is determined to finish Masvidal inside the distance of the fight. Good luck with that – the last time Masvidal was finished in a professional fight was in May 2009. And it’s going to be LOUD too: VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida is expected to have a full house of 15,000 screaming UFC fans.
Also on the UFC 261 main card: Flyweight champion Valentina “Bullet” Shevchenko against former strawweight champ Jessica Andrade. Zhang Weili will also return to the Octagon for the first time since UFC 248 to take on champ Rose Namajunas.
