Now the Nigerian-born champion is preparing for his next battle. He will take on the number two welterweight contender Leon Edwards next inside the UFC octagon. The much anticipated welterweight title bout will take place inside the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah next month.

Apparently, Usman has previously defeated Edwards once during the first slugfest in 2015. However, the Brit has drastically improved since then and secured a spot at the top. Hence, it will be exciting to see the two clash inside the cage again.
