UFC 261: What time does Usman vs Masvidal II start in the UK tonight?
In the main event of UFC 261 tonight, Jorge Masvidal will again challenge Kamaru Usman for the promotion’s welterweight title, nine months after the rivals’ clash on ‘Fight Island’ in Abu Dhabi.
Masvidal (35-14) stepped in on six days’ notice last July to take on Usman (18-1), following the withdrawal of Gilbert Burns due to a positive coronavirus test result for the original challenger.
An intense weight cut for Masvidal gave way to a comprehensive points defeat, with the Florida native having said ever since that night in Abu Dhabi that a full camp would be enough to reverse the result.
‘Gamebred’ will get the chance to prove it in his home state tonight, with 15,000 fans set to enter a full-capacity arena in Masvidal’s home state as the 36-year-old gets what will likely be his last crack at UFC gold.
Elsewhere on the card in Jacksonville, there are two women’s title fights, with Weili Zhang defending her strawweight belt against former divisional champion Rose Namajunas, and Valentina Shevchenko putting her flyweight strap on the line against Jessica Andrade – another former strawweight titleholder.
