Kamaru Usman is inching towards all-time greatness, but Leon Edwards is more than confident he’ll get redemption, and a UFC title around his waist for the first time at UFC 278.
MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jose Youngs break down the top storylines heading into Saturday’s main event in Salt Lake City, including the stylistic differences between them since their first meeting in 2015, if Usman is, perhaps, overlooking Edwards, and how this fight may be closer than the betting odds suggest.
The panel also discusses the potential stakes of the co-main middleweight event between Paulo Costa & Luke Rockhold. The high-level bantamweight bout between Jose Aldo & Merab Dvalishvili was discussed. Alexandr Romanov will be facing Marcin Tybura in his largest test yet.
