Usman's rematch with Edwards officially confirmed as the main event of UFC

The opponents will meet for the third time.

The UFC has officially confirmed that a welterweight title fight between British fighter Leon Edwards and Nigerian Kamaru Usman will headline the league's 286 event.

The event itself is scheduled for March 18, 2023 at the famous O2 Arena in London.

There were rumors about Usman's injury, which could derail the rematch, but the fighter denied his refusal to confront.

This will be the third fight between these rivals. In December 2015, Kamaru turned out to be stronger, but in August 2022, Edwards took over, at the same time taking away his belt from the champion.
