Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal face each other in the main bout at UFC 261 live on BT Sport and ESPN+ and we've got all the TV and live stream details.
UFC 261 hits our screens this weekend with a huge showdown between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal rightly taking centre stage.
The pair will renew rivalries after facing off in July 2020, an encounter that Usman won via unanimous decision after five gruelling rounds.
Usman's hot streak has since continued with a victory over Gilbert Burns to extend his undefeated run to 17 fights. He boasts an 18-1 professional fighting record overall and remains unbeaten in UFC competitions.
Experienced fighter Masvidal boasts a very different record with 14 defeats to his name.
However, the 36-year-old has racked up 35 victories including impressive wins over Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz before encountering Usman in his last outing.
