Leon Edwards offers Kamaru Usman retirement route ahead of UFC title clash

Leon Edwards has suggested Kamaru Usman should retire and take up a career in fashion after their UFC title clash.

Edwards makes the first defence of his welterweight title against familiar foe Usman in the main event of UFC 286 at The O2 arena on Saturday night. 'Rocky' won the belt last August by knocking out Usman with just a minute left in their rematch after losing most of the fight. The Brit wouldn't be surprised if Usman, who was unbeaten in almost a decade heading into their rematch, retires from fighting if he loses in their trilogy fight.

"I think something is out of the door already and I'm going to add to that, just from his mentality and the way he's moving. Whether he retires after or not, that's up to him. I heard he flew a stylist over here, our mentalities are in two different places. I feel like he's on his way out and I'm going to open that door, give him another path to follow his fashion dreams and whatever he wants to do."
