The main program at UFC 268 was incredible. Every game has the ability to send the Madison Square Garden audience into a frenzied frenzy of excitement and adrenaline from start to finish.
While some of these mixed martial artists are vying for championships, others are merely striving to preserve their relevance and credibility in increasingly competitive categories.
The main event will feature a fight between Frankie Edgar, a 40-year-old veteran, and Marlon Vera, a rising star in the bantamweight class who both have a lot to prove.
After the main card bout between Sean Strickland and Luke Rockhold was canceled, Shane Burgos and Billy Quarantillo’s highly anticipated featherweight bout was moved from the prelims to the main event.
Despite the fact that none of these matches is for a title, expect each of them to kick off the main card with a bang.
