The trilogy is officially set and will main event UFC 286 in London, England.
Per UFC President Dana White, Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3 is officially set for the UFC Welterweight championship.
UFC 286 takes place on March 18 at The O2 in London. The event airs on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
The welterweight title fight is the third meeting between the fighters, who are 1-1 with Usman winning a decision over Edwards at UFC on FOX 17 in their first encounter before Edwards took the rematch at UFC 279 this past August.
On that night, Usman was up on the scorecards heading into the fifth and final round. Then Edwards managed to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in history when he connected with a devastating head-kick knockout with just seconds remaining in the fight.
The co-main event for that card will be Justin Gaethje vs. Rafael Fiziev. Both men are making a huge push to fight for the UFC Lightweight championship in 2023.
