Kamaru Usman is set to defend his UFC Welterweight Championship on Saturday November 6th against Colby Covington, but who will likely face the winner of the main event?
There are a number of strong contenders in the 170-pound division of the UFC for Usman or Covington to face following UFC 268.
Here’s our list of likely contenders for the winner of UFC 268’s epic main event from Madison Square Garden.
Gilbert Burns
Looking at the division rankings for Welterweight, the #2 ranked Gilbert Burns would certainly make sense.
This fight would make more sense however for Covington rather than Usman, as the Nigerian Nightmare defeated Burns at UFC 258, earning an impressive victory via TKO in the third round of the contest.
