The UFC has released its official poster for one of the biggest cards of the year.

On the poster for UFC 268, which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Nov. 6, headliners Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington and co-headliners Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili take top billing, with top lightweight contenders Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler also featured.

See the poster here:

Usman defends his welterweight title against Covington a second time in a rematch of their thrilling UFC 245 encounter that Usman won via TKO with less than a minute remaining in the fifth and final round.

In the co-main event, Namajunas meets Zhang in an immediate rematch of their UFC 261 championship match this past April. Namajunas defeated Zhang by knockout in just 78 seconds to reclaim the UFC strawweight title. Zhang was on a 21-fight win streak prior to the loss.
