UFC 286 has a stacked lineup as Brit Leon Edwards faces American Kamaru Usman in their trilogy title fight.
The long-awaited rematch ended in absolute pandemonium last year, as Edwards knocked out Usman with a brutal head kick in the final minute of the fight to become the welterweight world champion. That knockout went on to win MMA Fighting's 'knockout of the year'.

Welshman Jack Shore is fighting on the preliminary undercard against Makwan Amirkhani. The boy from Abertillery is ranked 15th in the bantamweight division of the UFC, but is fighting in the featherweight division for the first time on Saturday.
