Boom ! L’UFC 261 will mark the year for sure. Through his personal tweeter account, Dana White has just announced the official holding of the event in Jacksonville, with full public access. And that’s not all ! The event will feature three championship fights on its main map, with revenge between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal for the welterweight title as headliner.
The second main fight will oppose the strawweight champion Zhang Weili to the former title holder Rose Namajunas. To complete this list, a clash between Valentina Chevchenko and the brazilian Jessica Andrade will also be there.

If, despite its announcements, negotiations for the return of the public to the state of Texas have turned sour, the president of theUFC has been able to bounce back quickly by setting its sights on the State of Florida, where sanitary restrictions are also more or less in force.
L’UFC 261 will take place on April 24 and will be the second gala of the year to offer 3 belts in one evening. But the enthusiasm generated by the return of the crowd risks giving it an even more explosive flavor.
