by LONDON – UFC 286 takes place on Saturday, and you can join us for official results and match-by-play live.
UFC 286 takes place at The O2 in London. The main card airs on pay-per-view after the prelims on ESPNews and the prelims on ESPN+.
In the main event, welterweight champion Leon Edwards (20-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) puts his title on the line for the first time against former champion Kamaru Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC), the whom he knocked out with a dramatic fifth-round head kick last August. Their fight is a trilogy and it’s tied 1-1 – but this time, the stakes are the highest yet.
Additionally, Rafael Fiziev (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) takes on former interim lightweight titleholder Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in the co-main event. The two have a combined 15 post-fight bonuses in 17 combined UFC fights.
Follow our round-by-round updates and official results beginning at approximately 12:30 pm ET for the first qualifiers on ESPN+, 3 pm for the qualifiers on ESPNews and 5 pm ET for the main card on pay-per-view.
