A historic moment for the UFC, as UFC 261 was the first event to welcome fans back at full capacity. The promotion chose Jacksonville, Florida, for its return, headlined by the rematch between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal earned the rematch after accepting the first fight with Usman on one week’s notice to save the UFC 251 card in May 2020. Valentina Shevchenko and Rose Namajunas also delivered standout performances.
