Leon Edwards sent a statement to all the doubters and the welterweight division at UFC 286, defeating Kamaru Usman in their trilogy fight by majority decision.
Fighting in front of the London crowd at the O2 Arena certainly didn’t hurt. But it was Edwards, skills and endurance that helped carry him to the decision win.
Usman attempted to pressure Edwards throughout the five-round affair but Rocky was able to turn back his advances with a combination of body kicks, boxing and takedown defense that frustrated Usman.
