Leon Edwards and his thousands of hometown supporters welcome Kamaru Usman to their colosseum on Saturday night. Usman enters enemy territory at the O2 Arena in London, England in pursuit of the UFC welterweight championship.
The fight game produces profound changes in the blink of an eye. In August, Usman was 56 seconds away from tying the all-time UFC win streak record and sweeping Edwards 2-0 in their series. Improbably, Edwards lulled Usman into a trap that changed the landscape of the welterweight division. Edwards, clearly down on the scorecards, uncorked a brilliant head kick that laid out Usman for good. Edwards brought a rare UFC championship home to England and must defend it against his greatest rival in their trilogy fight.
