Couldn't change the O2 to that time, now here we are." Watch Leon Edwards discuss his title shot against Kamaru Usman below: The UFC has a hard rule when it comes to their big numbered pay-per-views: they are almost always scheduled for time zones in the United States, where the majority of the promotion's pay-per-view revenue comes from. That has led to some strange start times for international events.

The prelims began at 11PM, and the main card didn't start until 3AM. The O2 Arena in London wasn't willing to run an event that late, and it's probably better for U.K.

<h2>Leon Edwards didn t think Kamaru Usman would accept a fight in the U K </h2> Even with the UFC considering the option of having Edwards vs. Usman in the United Kingdom, Edwards wasn't getting his hopes up. He just didn't see the welterweight champion Usman agreeing to fight in enemy territory like that.

He told The MMA Hour: "I was in doubt, like 'He wouldn't come over here to fight me.' If he did it would have been fantastic for the U.K. and over here. But I had doubts on him taking that, I can't see him saying yes and coming over and fighting unless they pay him stupid money." Now Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman will face off in Salt Lake City, Utah.
