Edwards vs. Usman and Gaethje vs. Fiziev at UFC 286 in London

A welterweight title fight between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman will be the main event of UFC 286 on March 18 in London.

The second most important event of the numbered British event will be the fight in the light weight category between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev.

This was announced at a press conference after the UFC Fight Night 217 tournament by UFC President Dana White.

In August last year, Leon Edwards shocked the world of mixed martial arts, 56 seconds before the end of the title fight with a kick to the head, knocking out Kamaru Usman, who had won the fight confidently until that moment. Thus, Edwards took revenge for the defeat of seven years ago, when he lost to the Nigerian by unanimous decision after three rounds.

Rafael Fiziev extended his UFC winning streak to six fights in July by knocking out Rafael dos Anjos in the fifth round, and Justin Gaethje made an unsuccessful attempt to win the UFC lightweight championship belt in May, losing to Charles Oliveira by rear naked choke in the first round.
