Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3 LIVE results and play-by-play updates stream: Follow along below as “Rocky” looks to retain his 170-pound strap and win the welterweight rubber match against “The Nigerian Nightmare,” a former division titleholder. Both fighters enter the UFC 286 headliner, scheduled for five, five-minute rounds, with a victory under their figurative belts (UFC 278 for Edwards and UFC on FOX 17 for Usman). A victory here could send the winner into battle against one of the other top contenders, like Khamzat Chimaev or Belal Muhammad. Before that welterweight trilogy gets settled, Justin Gaethje will look to prove he’s still tough enough to keep the 155-pound gate and perhaps work himself back into title contention by turning away streaking striking sensation Rafael Fiziev. This three-round co-headliner is an early favorite for “Fight of the Night’ and could even contend for “Fight of the Year,” unless “The Highlight” or “Ataman” closes the show early.
