SALT LAKE CITY — Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards were the picture of focus and intensity as they faced off for the final time at the ceremonial weigh-ins before meeting in the octagon at UFC 278.
While champion and challenger were able to meet nose-to-nose, UFC President Dana White didn’t intend to allow Paulo Costa or Luke Rockhold to come so close. The rivalry was boiling over Friday.
As soon as Costa stepped off the case, White put himself between the Brazilian and Rockhold as the middleweights continued jawing at each other until leaving the stage.
Watch the highlights of the main event, co-main event and more ahead of UFC 278 on Saturday night.
