UFC 286 Predictions

It will be difficult for Edwards to repeat the stunning kick that knocked Usman unconscious many months ago. That was a perfect storm in your opinion, and the alchemy required to reproduce it is complex.

Because of this, Usman must be a favourite. On his way to being considered one of the greatest of all time before losing to Edwards, Usman has the tools to get back on track.

Usman wins via KO.
