CHAMPIONSHIP TRILOGY! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to The O2 in London England, on Sat., March 18, 2023, with newly-minted Welterweight kingpin, Leon Edwards, running it back with former 170-pound champion, Kamaru Usman, for a third (and likely final) time. In UFC 286’s pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event, all-action Lightweight knockout artists, Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev, will lock horns with the winner inching closer to a future Lightweight title shot.
The winner of Oliveira vs. Poirier is expected to move on to face lightweight bruiser Justin Gaethje at some point in early 2022. Things aren’t so clear at women’s bantamweight since Nunes has pretty much cleaned out the division, unless Pena pulls off the massive upset and resets the 135-pound rankings. Unlikely, but we can never rule anything out in this crazy sport, which is part of what makes MMA so appealing.
