UFC 258: Usman vs. Burns, the highly-anticipated welterweight title bout, will stream exclusively on ESPN+ PPV this Saturday, February 13, at 10 p.m. ET.  The main event features a matchup between champion Kamaru Usman and former teammate and No. 1-ranked contender Gilbert Burns live from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Undisputed UFC welterweight champion Usman (17-1) is currently tied with all-time great Georges St-Pierre for the longest winning streak in the 170-pound weight class with 12 consecutive wins. Those wins include title victories over Jorge Masvidal, Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley. However, challenger Burns (19-3) is riding a four-win streak of his own since joining the welterweight division in 2019.

In 2015, Usman took home the top prize for his gym, Blackzilians against rival gym, American Top Team. Each week, a new season of The Ultimate Fighter will be made available on ESPN+.

The card also features a co-main women’s flyweight matchup of No. 10 Maycee Barber (7-1) vs. No. 15 Alexa Grasso (12-3). Elsewhere on the main card, the youngest The Ultimate Fighter winner in history, Kevin Gastelum (16-6-1) will take on Dana White’s Contender Series alumni Ian Heinisch (14-3).
