Today, we’re watching the UFC 286 live stream online, which features the third installment of Edwards vs. Usman. And it will air earlier than normal for all, as the event is broadcasting live from the O2 Arena in London.
Leon Edwards will defend his Welterweight Championship against Kamaru Usman in the main event title match, which was announced in January. This is the third match in their trilogy, with Edwards removing Usman’s title with a kick to the head in the fifth round last August.
The trilogy started in 2015, when Usman won by unanimous decision. Edwards is a Birmingham native who fights out of the city.
The co-main event at UFC 286 is a lightweight fight between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev.
According to DraftKings, Usman, the challenger, is the favourite at -240 (wager $240 to win $100) over Edwards, the champion (+200 — wager $100 to win $200). (opens in new tab). Fiziev (-230) and Gaethje (+195) are the favourites.
