The UFC arrives in London tonight with a main event title fight that will have fans on the edge of their seats.
Leon Edwards, the current UFC welterweight champion, looked down and out against Kamaru Usman going into the final round of their fight last August.
However, Edwards flipped the script and knocked out Usman cold with a leg kick which sent shockwaves through the MMA world.
Now Usman enters Edwards' backyard as he looks to win back the UFC 170lb title in a trilogy fight which will bring an end to this rivalry, but with Edwards set to be backed by a passionate home crowd, the 'Nigerian Nightmare' will need to produce a near perfect performance in the English capital.
