Kamaru Usman seeks redemption against Leon Edwards at UFC 286: ‘It’s a matter of remembering who I am’

Kamaru Usman is on a mission to re-capture the UFC welterweight title at UFC 286.

The former champion will face Leon Edwards in a trilogy fight on March 18. Last August, Usman was a round away from retaining his title. Edwards threw a last-minute head kick to claim UFC gold for the first time. It was Usman’s first loss in 16 UFC fights.

Now, “The Nigerian Nightmare” is determined to prove himself against Edwards at the O2 Arena in London, England.
