UFC 258 is set to take place on 13 February 2021, from the Apex Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be headlined by welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and his former teammate Gilbert Burns.
The duo was supposed to main event UFC 251 in July last year, but Burns was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19. In turn, the UFC found a standout replacement in Jorge Masvidal, who was defeated by Usman via unanimous decision.
'The Nigerian Nightmare' will be defending his title for the third time against his Brazilian opponent. Burns has been on a tear since losing to Dan Hooker in 2018. He is on a six-fight win streak, and had put on a dominant performance last year against Tyron Woodley to earn a title shot.
In the co-main event, surging prospect Maycee Barber will mark her return to the octagon against Alexa Grasso in a women's flyweight bout. The 22-year-old Barber last fought Roxanne Modafferi in a losing effort at UFC 246 which snapped her eight-fight winning streak.
Meanwhile, Grasso is coming off a win over Ji Yeon Kim. The Mexican will be hoping to get the better of Barber, which may help her break into the top 10 of the divisional rankings.

Ricky Simon vs. Brian Kelleher (Featherweight bout)
