The main event is, of course, Leon Edwards against Kamaru Usman, with the Nigerian out to reclaim the title he lost against the Englishman last August. It is a trilogy fight between the pair, with the fighters enjoying one win each.
Leading up to that fight, Justin Gaethje faces off against Azerbaijan’s Rafael Fiziev, with Gaethje coming off the back of a loss to Charles Oliveira, while Fiziev beat Rafael dos Anjos last time out. Conor McGregor’s long-time team-mate Gunnar Nelson is on the main card too as he fights Bryan Barbarena – a man who, interestingly, lost to Dos Anjos in his last fight.
