The main event of UFC 286 will feature a long-awaited rematch between welterweight champion Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman, the former champion of the division.

Edwards stunned Usman with a knockout head kick in the final minute of their UFC 278 fight in August 2022, ending Usman’s streak of 15 consecutive UFC victories and claiming the belt for the first time.

UFC 286 marks the third meeting between the two fighters. Usman defeated Edwards in his debut UFC match back in 2015. Edwards will be on his home turf fighting in London’s D2 Arena, but Usman remains the betting favorite as the fight approaches.
