Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman are set to settle the score in a trilogy bout scheduled for March at UFC 286. While it would be a major surprise if Edwards again defeats Usman, it is a real possibility, JustinBarrasso writes

Long rumored to be the marquee bout in London, it is now official. Edwards will likely be the underdog on fight night, but. He now looks to build off his 11-fight unbeaten streak with the most important fight of his career. A second victory against Usman will place him in vaunted territory, forever changing the narrative—he will be known for the head kick, as well as for being better than Usman.
This fight is also pivotal to the welterweight division. Every other contender awaits the decision. For someone like No. 2-ranked Colby Covington, he would have new life in the title picture if Edwards retains. Khamzat Chimaev and Belal Muhammad are also right on the cusp of a title shot, but both need either Edwards or Usman to be removed in order to take their place.
The money is at middleweight, at least for the next fight—or two. Pereira needs to finish his series with Adesanya before he does anything else in the cage.will be a pay-per-view main event, which will also be the case for a third time if Adesanya finally overcomes Pereira and forces a trilogy. Even if light heavyweight is a better weight class for Pereira long-term, his most significant bout is against Adesanya–and the UFC cannot risk him getting knocked out by Hill beforehand.
