SALT LAKE CITY – Leon Edwards knows his business with Kamaru Usman won’t be done if he claims the welterweight title in the UFC 278 main event. After losing a unanimous decision to Usman (20-1 MMA, 15-0 UFC) at UFC on FOX 17 in December 2015, Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) will finally get his rematch with the reigning titleholder on Saturday at Vivint Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ABC and ESPN+. Given Usman’s tremendous reign atop the division, UFC president Dana White said in advance of the event that a trilogy fight will happen immediately should Edwards claim the belt. “Rocky” said he agrees with that take, and will be ready for the rubber match
