LEON EDWARDS will bid to make UFC history TONIGHT in his eagerly-anticipated rematch with Kamaru Usman.
The Brummie will bid to become only Britain’s second UFC champion in the main event of UFC 278 in Salt Salt Lake City.
Edwards, 30, will look to claim the welterweight championship by dethroning pound-for-pound king Kamaru Usman – who has yet to taste defeat in the octagon.
In the co-main event of the evening, former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold will look to get back to winning ways against Paulo Costa.
Rockhold, 39, returns following a THREE-YEAR hiatus after his brutal knockout loss to Jan Blachowicz in July 2019.
