UFC 286 Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3: Date, Time, Channel & Streams

To attempt to recover his belt from UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards, Kamaru Usman travels into hostile territory. On March 18, the main event of UFC 286 in London, the first pay-per-view event for the organisation in six years, Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3 will take place.

For the first time since UFC 204, when hometown favourite Michael Bisping faced Dan Henderson in Manchester, England will play host to a significant UFC event. There are several similarities between the two cards. Both Bisping and Edwards, who became UFC champions unexpectedly, are defending their titles for the first time at home. In contrast to Bisping, who sought to revenge a loss to Henderson, Edwards aims to overtake Usman in their currently tied matchup.

Last August, Edwards unleashed a vicious Hail Mary head kick that won him the UFC welterweight belt and put an end to his feud with Usman. Before suffering a quick knockout, Usman had the advantage on paper and was just a few seconds away from matching Anderson Silva’s record of 16 straight victories in the UFC. Usman will have to settle for Silva’s all-time record, but he is the favourite to win the world championship again.
