UFC 261 happens this Saturday, April 24, and will feature three outstanding title fights.

The promotion wants to put on a spectacular show for the fans in attendance live in Jacksonville, Florida, this weekend, and there’s no better way to do it than by stacking the fight card with some of the biggest names in the sport.

In the main event, Jorge Masvidal gets his second shot at champion Kamaru Usman. Usman defeated Masvidal last year but the UFC wanted to run this one back considering that Masvidal took the last fight with just six days to prepare.

Before the headline bout, Zhang Weili will defend her title against Rose Namajunas. And the first title fight of the evening is a flyweight clash between champion Valentina Shevchenko and Jessica Andrade.

UFC 261 is exclusive to ESPN+ PPV and that means all fans in the United States will need to order the official UFC 261 PPV via the ESPN+ website to watch the fights live this Saturday night.
