Leon Edwards will attempt to become Britain’s second ever UFC champion this weekend, when the Birmingham fighter challenges Kamaru Usman in a welterweight rematch.
Jamaican-born Edwards was outpointed by Usman in 2015, as the Nigerian-American surged towards the title at 170lbs. Usman, 35, eventually claimed the belt in 2019 and has since retained it five times in a row, extending his overall win streak to a remarkable 19 fights.
