Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards 3 is less than a week away; Leon Edwards won in outstanding style when he last fought Kamaru Usman. And so, the present scenario demands the current UFC welterweight champion of the world to defend his belt against the Nigerian nightmare.
The electrifying clash is fixed for 18th march at the 02 arena in London. The undercard is equally exciting, where Justin Gaethje will be fighting against Rafael Fiziev, two excellent strikers hoping to emerge victoriously.

On the flip side, Leon Edwards earned his way to conquer UFC welterweight belt, and since it means so much to him, he would do anything to defend it.
