The UFC is back with a monster pay-per-view this Saturday night (which you can order on ESPN+) that features three title fights to close out a really good main card.
Oh, and UFC 261 will take place in front of a full crowd in Jacksonville, Fla. for the first time since the start of the pandemic last year.

So yeah, it should be a very interesting night of fights.
The main event features a rematch between welterweight champ Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal. Usman, of course, won the first one last July via unanimous decision but Masvidal took that fight on just a few days notice so we’ll have to see how a full camp could change things in this one.
Let’s look at three reasons to watch UFC 261.
1. Valentina Shevchenko vs. Jessica Andrade should be a really fun one.
Shevchenko puts her flyweight belt on the line against Andrade, who briefly owned the strawweight belt back in 2019. Shevchenko has won six straight fights and is always must-see TV when she enters the octagon. I gotta think somewhere down the line she’ll get a third fight with Amanda Nunes but for right now she will face some stiff competition from Andrade.
2. Weili Zhang vs. Rose Namajunas has all the makings for a classic.
The last time we saw Zhang in the octagon she was defending her belt in a tremendous fight with Joanna Jędrzejczyk in early March of 2020. Windows 7 sp1 preactivated. Now she takes on Namajunas, the former strawweight champ who is looking to get her belt back. Zhang is the real deal and has only lost one professional fight way back in 2013. I expect her to win this one, too, but I also think it should be a very good battle.
3. How will Masvidal look with a full camp for Usman?

Usman’s resume easily makes him one of the greatest champs in UFC history and he wanted this rematch with Masvidal because of how Masvidal took the last fight on just a few days notice. In Usman’s eyes, he can erase any talk of how that lack of prep led to his win. Usman wants to leave no doubt that Masvidal can’t beat him and he’s a big favorite to win this fight. That being said, Masvidal is one of the baddest guys in the fight game and can end a fight with a flying knee or a devastating strike. He’s dangerous at any moment and now has a full camp under his belt. This one could be a close one and definitely should be an exciting one.

'I'm not an independent contractor if I can't go anywhere else to make a living,' Masvidal wrote. 'Let me go and let me see if I'm worth it.'
The 35-year-old with a 35-13 professional record was set to face Usman at UFC's Fight Island this summer, but negotiations broke down regarding financial aspects of the deal.
50% of the revenue. I don’t get paid on the hot dog you sell in the arena or the logo on the cage. I’ve never made a dollar on a ticket you sell. I get punched in the face for a living and even I know the pandemic or what’s left of it has nothing to do with it

— Jorge Masvidal UFC (@GamebredFighter) June 5, 2020Masvidal also borrowed a line from 'The Dark Knight' movie: 'If you're good at something, never do it for free.'
As ESPN's Marc Raimondi reported, UFC boss Dana White responded to Masvidal while speaking with reporters at the UFC 250 weigh-ins:

'You don't have to fight. Anybody that doesn't want to fight doesn't have to fight. Including Masvidal and Jon Jones and all these other guys. And it doesn't have to be because of a pandemic. These guys are independent contractors. .. We're not begging people to fight.'
White's full NSFW statement can be found here.
Jones, the reigning light heavyweight champion, has repeatedly bashed White and teased a UFC exit via Twitter since late May. He also hinted that he could relinquish his title.
Meanwhile, Usman publicly challenged former two-division champion Conor McGregor last month. McGregor has said he's open to a July fight.
