Britain’s Leon Edwards meets welterweight champion Kamaru Usman in a rematch at UFC 278 this weekend.

Seven years after losing to the Nigerian, the 30-year-old Edwards is offered another title shot in Salt Lake City, Utah but faces an almighty task against a man touted as the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world.

Edwards has vowed to “humble” Usman, although that looks difficult to imagine.

On a 19-fight winning streak which includes five title defences, Usman has even suggested he would be prepared to move up two divisions after dominating the division.

Michael Bisping was the last British UFC champion and Edwards believes “the fame has got to” Usman as he bids to become the next.

UFC 278 prediction

While Edwards’ recent winning streak has earned him a shot, he’s simply never faced a fighter of Usman’s quality. Even during their first meeting, the Nigerian was far less polished.

Usman to win by unanimous decision.
