About UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3
UFC PPV returns to London this weekend with a trilogy fight for the welterweight title, UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3. In the co-main, third-ranked Justin Gaethje faces off against sixth-ranked Rafael Fiziev in a lightweight battle. Gaethje aims to get his name back in title contention with a big win in London. Fiziev, who is on a six-fight win streak, is coming off a Performance of the Night knockout of former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos last September. The winner sets themselves up for a future UFC Lightweight Championship match against the reigning champ Islam Makhachev.
We’ll also get to the popular Icelandic fighter Gunnar Nelson, who makes his second straight London start against Bryan Barberena in a high-octane welterweight fight. Nelson returned to action last March after two years off and collected a unanimous decision win over Takashi Sato. Barberena is 4-4 in his last eight fights and aims to shake off his second-round submission loss to former UFC Welterweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos.
