Leon Edwards thinks his recent inactivity may pay dividends against Kamaru Usman . Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) gets his long-awaited title shot against welterweight champion Usman in Saturday’s UFC 278 headliner at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC/ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, Edwards has only competed twice and had numerous fights canceled. His UFC Fight Night 187 headliner against Belal Muhammad was cut short when an accidental eye poke rendered Muhammad unable to continue early in Round 2.
