Kamaru Usman has been relatively quiet since his historic winning streak and UFC welterweight title reign came to a screeching halt courtesy of a stunning knockout to Leon Edwards.
After decisively beating Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) by unanimous decision in their first encounter at UFC on FOX 17 in December 2015, Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC) was well in control of the rematch at UFC 278 in August before a perfectly-timed head kick put him out cold in the fifth round.
The result set the stage for a trilogy match between the two sides, which takes place Saturday in the main event of UFC 286 at The 02 in London. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+.
