UFC President Dana White announced on Sunday that Leon Edwards will defend his welterweight title against Kamaru Usman at UFC 286 in the O2 Arena in London on March 18.
Edwards defeated Usman for the belt at UFC 278 last August after delivering a fifth-round head kick for a knockout, setting up their upcoming trilogy fight.
The two first faced off in December 2015 where Usman won via unanimous decision.
The UFC 286 co-main event will feature Justin Gaethje fighting Rafael Fiziev in a lightweight fight.
