Leon Edwards is offered another shot at Kamaru Usman at UFC 278.
The welterweight is looking to avenge his loss to the Nigerian seven years ago and thereby become Britain’s first UFC champion since 2016.
Still, as exciting as that may be, Edwards faces a hugely difficult task in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Usman, ranked as the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, is riding the crest of a wave after a 19-fight winning streak, dominating the division over the last few years.
Edwards, however, has seen something. Indeed, he believes the fame has got to Usman’s head and hopes to exploit what he believes as arrogance.
