Leon Edwards is able to check a box. It's the box of an intangible ... One of those things is conditioning, who can push harder, longer.

I don't know that Leon is better than Kamaru in that regard but I will tell you that Leon can match Kamaru. And before you can ever beat Usman you have to be able to match that pace and that endurance."

"He'll push you to the fence and he'll take you down to the mat ... but if you have a very disciplined opponent that knows to keep his back off the fence, keep things in the open, how to work his way back to the feet, and Leon's been given almost six years, six years from the first time that he was introduced to the experience he'll have to go through for the championship this week, and that same experience against the same guy.

It's enough time." Sonnen finished his prediction video by saying he saw a 60% chance Usman would win and 40% chance Edwards would win. And while Kamaru Usman may never end up in any serious danger, the rounds could be close enough for Leon Edwards to take it. In the end, though, he had 'The Nigerian Nightmare' retaining his title.

Leading up to UFC 278, he's floated the idea of boxing Canelo Alvarez, and fighting for the UFC light heavyweight title. During a UFC 278 media day interview, Usman made it clear that he was serious about both propositions.

I wasn’t.” Usman said he wasn't claiming he could run through the 205-pound division, but he believed he could win a light heavyweight title fight. He even suggested a bout against Jon Jones, who is currently preparing to make his heavyweight debut.
