MMA Pros reacts – LEON EDWARDS is still the UFC’s welterweight champion following a dominant display in his trilogy fight with Kamaru Usman.



Edwards ripped the belt from Usman’s clutches with a stunning head kick KO in their rematch last August to become Britain’s second UFC champion.

An elated Edwards said in his post-fight interview: “He didn’t get any takedowns and I was defending multiple of his shots.

“I want to say thank you to him, he’s been a great competitor. I was trying to get the head kick, but fair play to him because he had perfect defence.”
