US EditionStream Ryan Garcia vs Mario Barrios Title Fight Tonight; Fight Time, Card, Odds, DAZN Boxing PPV Price
Mario Barrios defends his WBC welterweight title against Ryan Garcia, who seeks redemption after a year-long suspension and recent defeat, in a sold-out main event.
- Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, Mario Barrios defends the WBC welterweight title against Ryan Garcia at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, headlining a DAZN pay‑per‑view with the main card starting 5:45 p.m. ET and a predicted ring walk near 11:53 p.m. ET.
- Ryan Garcia seeks his first major world title after a May loss to Rolando Romero and an April 2024 positive test that changed his Devin Haney win to a no-contest and led to suspension.
- At Friday's weigh‑in, Mario Barrios, record 29-2-2, 18 KOs, weighed 147lbs and Ryan Garcia, record 24-2, 20 KOs, weighed 146.5lbs; the main-event ring walk is predicted at 11:53 p.m. ET.
- Victory would either preserve Mario Barrios' WBC reign or deliver Ryan Garcia's first major world title, with both fighters under scrutiny due to Barrios' consecutive draws and Garcia's last win in December 2023.
- Amid questions over form, neither man is in peak shape—Barrios is more active but shows defensive lapses while Garcia's left hook, a tactical weapon, and betting odds favoring Ryan Garcia complicate strategy with Joe Goossen, trainer, in Barrios' corner.
