In its return to the O2 Arena in London, The UFC delivered a decent pay-per-view event with UFC 286 this past Saturday. Welterweight champion Leon Edwards was successful in his first defense, fending off a familiar foe in Kamaru Usman in their third and potentially final fight. Justin Gaethje was involved in another exciting war with Rafael Fiziev. And there were some great finishes from Gunnar Nelson, Yanal Ashmouz and Jake Hadley. With that event now over, let s take a look at what we have ahead of us on the upcoming schedule.
