UFC 258 poster released featuring Kamaru Usman, Gilbert Burns

Kamaru Usman | Esther Lin, MMA Fighting Kamaru Usman and former teammate Gilbert Burns will have their day in the cage next month.
After seeing their first booking in July derailed by a positive COVID-19 test for Burns (and a rumored rebooking in December also nixed), the welterweight stars are set for UFC 258 on Feb. 13, and the official poster for the event was released Monday.
Since winning the title with a one-sided decision win over Tyron Woodley, Usman has successfully defended the belt twice against rivals Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. The champ brings a 12-0 UFC record into his clash with Burns.

Not featured on the poster but also in action are former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, Uriah Hall, Kelvin Gastelum, Pedro Munhoz, and budding flyweight contenders Maycee Barber and Alexa Grasso.
