American UFC fighter Justin Gaethje shared his expectations for the third fight between Kamaru Usman and the promotion's welterweight champion Leon Edwards on March 18 at UFC 286.
Justin Gaethje, quoted by MMA News
mean, he (Usman) whooped his (Edwards’) ass for 23 minutes and 45 seconds. So, he’s the better athlete, he’s the better fighter. Nobody works harder than him. Again, luck and chance are slight factors every time we step in there, but you’ve just gotta trust in the preparation. I guarantee that he will be confident in his preparation.
Edwards and Usman's second fight took place in August 2022 at UFC 278. In that confrontation, Leon knocked out his opponent in the fifth round and won the UFC welterweight championship belt.
The first fight between Edwards and Usman, which took place in December 2015 at UFC on Fox 17, ended with Kamaru winning by unanimous decision.
