With the score tied one apiece, Kamaru Usman will try to prove his recent loss to Leon Edwards was nothing more than a “Hail Mary in the Super Bowl” by reclaiming his welterweight crown in the UFC 286 headliner this weekend in London. That will require “The Nigerian Nightmare” to put forth a dominant performance across the pond with “Rocky’s” 170-pound title at stake!
