While the champions and title challengers all showed professionalism, the undercard was a different story as two prelim fighters missed weight. Bruno Souza came in 2.4 pounds heavy for his featherweight bout against Melsik Baghdasaryan. Meanwhile, C.J. Vergara weighed 1.4 pounds over the flyweight limit for his fight opposite Ode Osbourne. Both bouts will continue despite the misses, with each fighter being fined 20% of their purses. Additionally, Vicente Luque was tapped as the alternate in the headliner, but he missed championship weight by 2.2 pounds.

Atop the UFC 268 card is a championship rematch between welterweight king Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington. Usman defeated Covington in a memorable 2019 bout that saw "The Nigerian Nightmare" get a TKO victory in the fifth round. Since then, "Chaos" bounced back against Tyron Woodley last year, while Usman defended his belt against Jorge Masvidal twice and Gilbert Burns. The champion weighed in at 169 pounds for the rematch, while Covington tipped the scale at 169.4 pounds.

Another title rematch will see Rose Namajunas look to defend her strawweight belt against Weili Zhang. Namajunas knocked out Zhang (21-2) with a head kick earlier this year in a fight in under 90 seconds. Neither woman has competed since that dramatic matchup in April. The Chinese fighter will look to give Namajunas (10-4) more trouble in the rematch. Both fighters weighed in at 115 pounds exactly.

UFC 268's main card will air on ESPN+ pay-per-view starting at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Early prelims will air live in UFC Fight Pass and ESPN+ starting at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT, and then transition to ESPNEWS and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
