UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3 was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on March 18, 2023, at The O2 Arena in London, England.
UFC Welterweight Championship trilogy bout between current champion Leon Edwards and former champion (also The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians welterweight winner) Kamaru Usman headlined the event. The pairing first met at UFC on Fox: dos Anjos vs. Cowboy 2 in December 2015, where Usman won by unanimous decision. Their second meeting took place at UFC 278 in August 2022, where Edwards won the title by knockout in the fifth round. Former interim champion Colby Covington served as back up and potential replacement for this fight.
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva was announced as next "pioneer wing" (career started prior to the implementation of the Unified Rules of MMA) UFC Hall of Fame inductee. Holds the record for longest championship reign (2,457 days) in UFC history and longest win streak (16) in UFC history!
