Newsone reports that Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards 2 is a fight seven years in the making. The two streaking welterweights meet at UFC 278 as the promotion touches down at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Usman and Edwards met for the first time in December 2015 on the early prelims of a Fight Night card. Usman won via unanimous decision and continued his warpath to welterweight supremacy. Edwards quietly evolved into one of the most complex puzzles at 170 pounds. Usman and Edwards now headline UFC 278 as champion and title challenger, respectively.
This online news platform understands that Usman already holds one win over Edwards, taking a decision victory in December 2015.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the Brit has ripped off nine straight wins since despite multiple layoffs because of the pandemic and injuries. He held out for his opportunity and was finally rewarded after beating Nate Diaz in 2021. Usman, meanwhile, has continued to be perfect since the first meeting as he enters on a massive 19-fight win streak. He’s beat the best of the best at 170 pounds, including a few twice.
“I’m not approaching this as the fight we had seven years ago because we’re two different people, two different fighters,” Edwards said in an interview with UFC.com. “It’s a brand-new fight.
“I think it’s a good matchup for me and that styles make fights. I think the way he competes, the way he fights matches, the way I compete, and I fight, I think he has improved — his striking has improved — but so have I. I’ve improved my striking, my grappling, my all-around mixed martial arts game.
