When these two first met in the UFC no one had any idea how big each of them would become as individuals.

Kamaru beat Edwards by unanimous decision in the first fight and the two went their seperate ways for 7 years. In that time both men accomplished great things. Usman claimed UFC gold, while Edwards went on a 10 fight win streak.

Edwards win streak was enough to earn him another shot at now champion Kamaru Usman.

The build up to the fight was intense with both men truly believing they would come out on top.

After 4 rounds, it seemed like Usman was going to beat Edwards once again, and keep his title. With just one minute left in the fight though, Leon Edwards knocked Usman out cold with a head kick and won UFC gold.

The only right decision for these men was a 3rd, and final fight for the championship.

Usman is clearly the better wrestler and jiu jitsu practitioner, while Edwards has the striking advantage. It’ll be interesting to see who wins this fight.
