UFC 268 gets underway on Saturday from the Madison Square Garden in New York City. However, a day before, we get the official weigh-ins for the event. The official weigh-in is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on Friday, and will air on ESPN2 and via live stream at WatchESPN. The ceremonial weigh-in is scheduled for 5 p.m.
The main event features Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington squaring off for the welterweight title. The co-feature of the night will see Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili battle for the women’s strawweight title.
There aren’t usually too many surprises at the weigh-in. There will be some fighters that have to cut weight in an unhealthy manner at the last minute, but they usually make weight.
Here’s a look at the full card. We’ll update with weigh-in results Friday afternoon.
