UFC 258: Usman vs. Burns February 11, 2020 by Marc Jerbs

On Saturday, welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will defend his title for the third time in the main event of UFC 258 against Gilbert Burns.

The fight will start at 10:00PM EST at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The match between the former sparring mates will finally happen.

They were both scheduled to fight last July 2020 but was postponed due to COVID-19 and was moved to December but fell through due to undisclosed injuries to Usman.

Both Usman and Burns know each other well.

There's no bad blood between both fighters but they sure are fierce competitors inside the octagon.

Both fighters have tremendous knockout power, can wrestle and grapple at the same time.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed Kamaru Usman as the favorite to retain his welterweight title against Gilbert Burns on Saturday night.
