Nigeria’s Kamaru Usman has taunted Leon Edwards, his
opponent, ahead of the UFC 278 duel between both fighters.
Usman challenged Edwards during the ceremonial weigh-ins on
Friday evening at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Edwards had earlier
said: “I’m going to humble you [Usman] Saturday night.”
Usman, 35, put his title on the line against the Briton in a
rematch of the 2015 clash that saw the Nigerian win by unanimous decision.
“One thing I have to
say is ‘taking what from who?” Kamaru said during the weigh-in.
“So much has been said. Leon said a lot and he truly
believes that.”
The number two pound-for-pound fighter is looking at
snatching a sixth consecutive win against Edwards.
The champion, who has defended his title five times since
beating Tyron Woolley in 2019, is on a 19-fight winning streak.
