UFC 268 recap: A huge night in the Big Apple

The Brit Pack MMA Podcast

The biggest card of the year delivered the biggest thrills as UFC 268 served up a night to remember at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

The main event between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington produced another super-competitive title fight, with Usman getting the nod on the scorecards, while Rose Namajunas did the same in her title rematch with Zhang Weill.

But this was a card that delivered from top to bottom, with some incredible highlights throughout the night.

The main card opened up the pay per view with a Fight of the Year contender, as Justin Gaethje outpointed Michael Chandler in a three-round thriller.

And the preliminary card delivered a feast of finishes, with SIX knockouts in a row, including Chris Curtis’ crowd-pleasing wheel-kick, Ian Garry’s eye-catching octagon debut and Alex Pereira’s scary arrival as a middleweight threat.

All in all, it was a big night in the Big Apple, and on this week’s episode of the show we go big as we recap a night full of high spots and hijinks.

There’s also time to recap Bellator 270 in Dublin, as well as Sandhu’s trip to Las Vegas for Canelo vs. Plant, plus a quick look ahead to the upcoming UFC Fight Night card at the UFC Apex as Max Holloway welcomes Yair Rodriguez back to the octagon.
