UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman will defend his title for the third time at UFC 258 tonight on ESPN+.
Entering UFC 258, Usman has won 16 straight matches; his last fight ended in a decision victory over Jorge Masvidal in July 2020. Challenger Gilbert Burns has won six consecutive fights, working his way to an impressive 19-3 record. Usman and Burns were originally expected to fight during 2020, but an injury to Usman and a positive COVID-19 test for Burns delayed the matchup.
UFC 258 will be held at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, with early prelims streaming on UFC Fight Pass at 7 p.m. ET. Prelims will air on ESPN and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET, and the UFC 258 main card will start at 10 p.m. ET exclusively on ESPN+. The main card is a pay-per-view event, so you’ll need to pay $70 along with the cost of an ESPN+ subscription to watch the title fight.
Updated on 2/13/2021 by Steven Cohen: The UFC 258 schedule has been updated to reflect recent changes in the lineup. The early prelim match time has been adjusted from 6:15 p.m. ET to 7 p.m. ET.
