Leon Edwards has insisted he won't be chasing another highlight-reel knockout against Kamaru Usman in their trilogy fight.
Edwards, 31, defends his UFC welterweight title for the first time since winning against Usman when they meet for the third time at UFC 286 on March 19. 'Rocky' knocked out Usman last August with a Hail Mary head kick after losing the majority of the fight, becoming just the second British champion in UFC history after Michael Bisping first achieved the feat in 2016.
The Brit thinks the high altitude of Salt Lake City, where his second fight against Usman was held, was detrimental to his performance. Edwards is predicting a better performance from himself this time around and doesn't care how he beats Usman, as long as he leaves the octagon with the 170lb belt around his waist.
