Nearly two years into his reign as undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight titleholder, Kamaru Usman finds a former teammate knocking on his door.

Sanford MMA standout Gilbert Burns will challenge Usman for his championship in the UFC 258 headliner this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Burns, 34, carries a six-fight winning streak into the Octagon. The four-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion last fought under the UFC on ESPN 9 marquee on May 30, when he laid claim to a five-round unanimous decision over Tyron Woodley. Usman, meanwhile, has rattled off 16 consecutive victories. “The Nigerian Nightmare” last appeared at UFC 251, where he took a unanimous verdict from American Top Team’s Jorge Masvidal on July 11.

UFC 258 “Usman vs. Burns”—which streams to ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT—also features a women’s flyweight co-main event matching Maycee Barber with Alexa Grasso, a lightweight tilt pitting Bobby Green against Jim Miller and a pair of middleweight affairs, as Kelvin Gastelum faces Ian Heinisch and Julian Marquez meets Maki Pitolo. ESPN (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) and UFC Fight Pass (6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT) are scheduled to share coverage of the undercard, a seven-fight slate of prelims highlighted by a middleweight confrontation between the undefeated Rodolfo Vieira and Anthony Hernandez.
