On Saturday March 18, UFC returns at The O2 in London, England with UFC 286 where Leon Edwards takes on Kamaru Usman for the third time.
In the highly anticipated main event, former welterweight champion Usman returns to action to take on his rival Edwards. Reigning division champion Edwards won the title as he knocked out his rival Usman in an unbelievable comeback win last August.
In the UFC 286 co-main event, former interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje will clash with No. 6 ranked Rafael Fiziev in a pivotal bout. The winner puts himself in a very good position for a future title fight.
The main card also features a welterweight fight between Iceland’s Gunnar Nelson and fan favorite Bryan Barberena.
Makwan “Mr. Finland” Amirkhani returns
In the UFC 286 prelims we will see undefeated flyweight Muhammad Mokaev return for his fourth promotional fight as he takes on Jafel Filho. Mokaev made his UFC last year and is currently ranked at No. 12.
The prelims also features Finland’s Makwan Amirkhani who will clash with Jack Shore in a featherweight bout.
