Kamaru Usman wants "finality" fight with Leon Edwards despite consecutive defeats

Kamaru Usman feels his rivalry with Leon Edwards is far from over despite suffering back-to-back defeats to the Brit.

Usman, 35, lost his UFC welterweight title when he was knocked out by Edwards in the dying moments of their fight last August. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' was winning most of the fight but Edwards landed a head-kick with less than a minute left in the final round to become the first man to defeat Usman in almost a decade.

Edwards made the first defence of his title by winning a decision against Usman in their trilogy fight at UFC 286 in March. Usman has insisted the bout didn't have the "finality" that he wanted, something he hopes a potential quadrilogy fight against 'Rocky' will bring.
