UFC 286 live stream: Preview

UFC sees the third fight between Jamaica-born Brit Leon Edwards and Nigeria's Kamaru Usman for the Welterweight title. The series is currently tied at one apiece, so this trilogy bout will decide a lot more than just who takes home the championship belt.

On paper, Leon "Rocky" Edwards has the upper hand. He won their last fight in August last year, and the Birmingham-raised fighter will be performing in front of a home crowd at The O2 in London. But the 31-year-old will certainly have his hands full – the "Nigerian Nightmare" has a 20-2 record, and has won 15 of his last 16 fights. He was also victorious in the pair's first fight back in 2015.

That's the main event, but there's plenty else to enjoy besides. American Justin Gaethje takes on Azerbaijan's Rafael Fiziev in a lightweight bout, while there's a welterweight clash between Iceland's Gunnar Nelson and Bryan Barberena from the US. And in the women's flyweight, Brazil's Jennifer Maia tussles with Australia's Casey O'Neill, who remains undefeated in her nine matches so far.

The UFC 286: Edwards vs Usman main card is expected to start at 9pm GMT / 8am AEDT / 5pm ET / 2pm PT on Saturday 18th March at The O2 in London. The cagewalks are due around 10.30pm GMT / 5.30pm ET.
