Fresh from a stunning knockout of Usman last August that evened their series at 1-1, Birmingham’s Edwards will now make his first title defense against Usman, who has won 19 of his last 20 bouts.
Plus, two of the lightweight division’s most explosive contenders collide, as Justin Gaethje meets Rafael Fiziev in the UFC 286 co-main event.
