UFC 278: Usman vs Edwards 2, Salt Lake City

A potentially historic night for British MMA awaits as Leon Edwards, 30, rematches welterweight title holder Kamaru Usman, 35, in Utah.

Not since Michael Bisping, 44, has a UFC fighter from these shores held the gold, and there has not been once since.

Usman beat Edwards in 2015 but a lot has changed since then, meanwhile Paulo Costa and Luke Rockhold co-headlining with Jose Aldo also returning.

Adrien Broner vs Omar Figueroa Jr, Florida

Broner – nicknamed The Problem – is back after over a year out of the ring and fights Figueroa.

The four-division champ beat Jovanie Santiago in February 2021 but troubles outside the ring left him sidelined.

Broner, 33, is looking for one more crack at the big time and his personality and flashy style is still a big hit with fans.
