Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal headline a stacked card at UFC 261 in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday as the sport holds its first event in front of a crowd with no capacity limit.
Usman will look to defend his UFC welterweight title in the rematch against Masvidal, whom he defeated by unanimous decision at UFC 251 last year.
For once, however, the bout could be overshadowed by the size of the crowd, which is set to command the lion s share of attention. Almost exactly a year on since shutting its doors because of the coronavirus pandemic, UFC 261 will be the first event hosted in front of a crowd with no capacity limit since UFC 248 in March last year.
