There’s a good chance it’s coming home. Newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards might get his first title defense on home soil, at least from preliminary discussions between his management and the UFC. The Englishman pulled off a big upset when he knocked out Kamaru Usman in dramatic fashion in the main event of UFC 278 last month. With the score being 1-1, there’s been interest in booking an immediate trilogy from all parties  – UFC, Edwards and Usman.
