UFC 278, Usman vs Edwards 2: Full fight card, schedule, live streaming details and more

The MMA world is up for a treat this weekend, as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) gears up for the UFC 278 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled to be held on Saturday night. The PPV is being headlined by Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards 2, UFC welterweight championship bout as the main event. This will be the first fight of the year for the reigning welterweight champion, as he last made a successful title defence against Colby Covington in November, last year. 

On the other hand, Leon Edwards fought against Nate Diaz in his last bout on June 2021, where he picked up a unanimous decision win. Usman is arguably UFC’s best pound-to-pound fighter currently as he has a win-loss-draw record of 20-1-0. At the same time, Edwards has a 19-3-0 record to his name. 

This will be the second time both fighters face each other in the UFC, having previously fought in 2015. Edwards has maintained a 10-0 unbeaten record in 10 fights since their previous clash and now looks determined to become the first native of Jamaica to win the UFC title. It is pertinent to mention that this will be sixth time Kumaru will defend his welterweight title.
