Leon Edwards will seek to defend his UFC Welterweight title this Saturday night when he takes on Kamaru Usman in a rubber match headlining UFC 286 at the O2 Arena in London.
It is the third professional meeting between the pair inside a UFC octagon, with Usman winning the first bout via unanimous decision in December 2015.
Their second meeting in August of last year was heading towards a similar outcome before Edwards delivered a sensational fifth-round knockout that earned him the Performance of the Night award.
For Edwards, 31, this will be his first defence of the UFC Welterweight Championship after Usman had previously successfully defended his belt five times, including two wins over Jorge Masvidal.
