Tonight’s UFC 251 fight card is the first to be held on Fight Island and the UFC has packed the event with three title fights to mark the significance of the occasion.

In the main event, welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will defend his title against Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal took the fight on short-notice after Usman’s original opponent, Gilbert Burns, withdrew from the event after testing positive for COVID-19.

The co-main event is a rematch for the UFC Featherweight Championship. Former longtime champion Max Holloway lost his title to Alexander Volkanovski in December and now the two will battle again for the top spot in the 145-pound division.

Before then, top bantamweight Petr Yan will fight former featherweight champion and all-time great Jose Aldo for the vacant UFC Bantamweight Championship. Yan vs. Aldo was scheduled following Henry Cejudo’s shock retirement from the UFC.

The UFC 251 PPV main card is only available to watch on ESPN+.
