Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards Odds
Kamaru Usman will look to further cement his legacy on Saturday at UFC 278 as he defends his welterweight belt for the sixth time in when he rematches Leon “Rocky” Edwards.
Usman closed as a -250 (71.4% implied) favorite in their 2015 encounter – his first official UFC bout after winning The Ultimate Fighter 21 tournament – securing a unanimous decision over Edwards after dropping the first round on two of the three scorecards.
Edwards is on a 9-0 (with one no-contest) run since that loss, though he has fought sparingly – with his only victory since July 2019 coming at UFC 263 in June as a -550 favorite against Nate Diaz.
Can the Englishman turn the tables in the rematch and set up an intriguing trilogy fight, or will Usman turn away a familiar foe for the third consecutive time?
