At UFC 286, Leon Edwards defeated Kamaru Usman once more and defended his welterweight title after surviving a point deduction.

At the O2 Arena in London on Saturday night, “Rocky” defeated Usman after five rounds with a majority decision [48-46, 48-46, 47-47].

It’s understandable that the first round was tentative, but the UFC 286 fans who were there had a good time and chanted loudly for Edwards for the first five minutes.

In an otherwise uneventful UFC pay-per-view round, he caught the attention of the crowd with a series of powerful body kicks and his well-known catchphrase, “Headshot, dead.”

In round two, both men had their moments, but Edwards continued to impress UK fight fans with his skilled striking.

However, Usman enjoyed one of the most impressive UFC welterweight title runs of all time by landing big shots of his own and even having some success wrestling.

In round three, “The Nigerian Nightmare” got the champion down early but was unable to keep him there.

Before allowing the fight to continue, the referee, Herb Dean, controversially deducted one point from the Englishman because he believed Edwards got back to his feet by illegally grabbing the fence.

While Usman kept Edwards busy with his jab and constant grappling threat, Edwards was successful with his strikes and defended well against takedowns.

At the beginning of round five, the champion poured it on and even landed a head kick that was similar to the one he used to knock out Usman in their fight at UFC 278 in August.

Tonight, Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman meet in the main event of UFC 286 in London to try to end their rivalry.

After winning the welterweight title in August with a last-minute head kick against Usman in their rematch, Edwards makes his first defense. With his victory over Usman, Rocky extended his winning streak to 11 fights. Prior to the fight, the former champion had not been defeated in almost a decade.

The exciting lightweight fight between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev will be the co-main event of the London pay-per-view event. Unbeaten English possibilities, for example, Muhammad Mokaev and Christian Leroy Ducan additionally highlight on the bill, so here is all you really want to be familiar with this evening’s battles…

Oleksandr Usyk retains his WBO, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles and it was a lot closer than we imagined, according to the judges…

Joshua showed that he had made some real adjustments since their September 2021 clash, fighting in a lower stance and not falling into Usyk’s traps in the opening rounds. That made it difficult for Usyk to truly get rolling early as he maintained his constant lateral movement, but without the same offensive openings presenting themselves as they had in the first meeting.

Usyk began to switch up his gameplan beginning in Round 4 as he began to figure out the approach Joshua was taking.

Rather than allow Joshua to lead the fight and apply pressure, Usyk began to circle more and fire off combinations with the intention to touch Joshua more than hurt him with any one shot.

In response to Usyk’s adjustment, Joshua began to fall into the same traps as the first meeting, chasing Usyk and missing wildly at times.

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder react to AJ’s defeat

Tyson Fury said: “That was s****. That was one of the worst heavyweight world title fights I’ve ever seen. They’re both s****. I would annihilate both of them on the same night. Get your chequebook out because I the Gypsy King is here to stay forever!”

Deontay Wilder posted on Twitter: “They tried to lock me in for insurance because they knew he wasn’t going to Win. This is strictly a business, Not a sport there’s a difference.”
