UFC 286: preview and prediction
British fighter Leon Edwards will look to seal a glorious homecoming on Saturday as he defends his welterweight title against Kamaru Usman as the UFC 286 headliner at London’s O2 Arena.
The trilogy match comes just seven months after Edwards knocked out the seemingly unbeatable ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ to win the crown, with the fight his first defense.
The two fighters faced off early in their UFC careers in 2015, with Usman coming out on top that night, only for Edwards to exact revenge seven years later.
Edwards will now look to prove his shock win at UFC 278 was not unique as he looks to seal his undeniable talent status at 170lbs.
The first numbered UFC event to take place in the UK since 2016, Usman is likely to face a hostile crowd as he takes on the popular Birmingham-born Jamaican fighter.
The main act rematch may have a tough act to follow though, with the co-main event being considered a Fight of the Year contender with Justin Gaethje taking on Rafael Fiziev in a highly anticipated lightweight clash.
The main card starts at 9pm GMT / 5pm ET. Edwards vs Usman cagewalks expected around 10:30 p.m. GMT / 6:30 p.m. ET. Follow our guide below as we explain how to watch a UFC 286 live stream, so you can catch Edwards vs Usman and the rest in the Octagon.

Who is Leon Edwards
Jamaican-born British star Leon Edwards emerged from a world of gang violence in Birmingham thanks to MMA.
“Rocky” made his professional debut at 19 and finally signed up for the UFC four years later.
He has since had 12 wins in 15 fights with his win last year over Usman becoming Britain’s first champion since Michael Bisping in 2016.
Who is Kamaru Usman
One of MMA’s top grapplers, Usman won the welterweight crown from Tyron Woodley in 2019 at UFC 235.
His unexpected loss to Edwards at UFC 278 ended a seemingly unstoppable 19-fight MMA winning streak.
While the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ is known for his ground work, he can get out of trouble when needed and has exemplified his fists perfectly as a means of attack in knockout wins over Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns and Jorge. Masvidal.
