UFC 278 video: Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards final faceoff for title rematch

SALT LAKE CITY – Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards had their final pre-fight interaction at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of their UFC 278 main event rematch.

Usman (20-1 MMA, 15-0 UFC) will put his welterweight title on the line Saturday against Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in a rematch of their December 2015 showdown, which “The Nigerian Nightmare” won by unanimous decision as part of his undefeated UFC run.

Edwards has gone unbeaten in 10 fights since that result, and now the stage is set after the final staredown between the two.

Watch the video above to see the UFC 278 ceremonial weigh-in faceoff between Usman and Edwards.

UFC 278 takes place at Vivint Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ABC and ESPN+.
