UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will give challenger Leon Edwards another shot at him on Saturday. Edwards came up short back in 2015 in their first bout but since that decision loss, Leon is on a 9-0-1 run. He was the logical choice for Usman’s next defense. They serve as the main event for UFC 278 with a very solid co-main event in Luke Rockhold vs Paulo Costa and a bout featuring former featherweight king Jose Aldo.
