Although there wass a championship doubleheader, Justin Gaethje vs. Michael Chandler stole the show at UFC 268.
As advertised, Gaethje (23-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Chandler (22-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC) traded blows for 15 minutes. “The Highlight” was able to outlast the gritty and durable Chandler to stake his claim at another title shot.
In the main event, UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman made it 2-0 against Colby Covington, who was able to rally back from a second-round barrage courtesy of the champion. But ultimately, Usman proved to be too much for Covington once again, notching his fifth title defense.
In the co-main event, UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas defeated Zhang Weili for a second straight time in what was a much different fight than their first outing. After four close rounds, the champion was able to seal the fight with a pivotal fifth-round takedown.
