[Edwards](/athlete/leon-edwards) chopping with loads of kicks, [Usman](/athlete/kamaru-usman) pressuring constantly, working behind his hands, and neither really grabbing a clear advantage. Early in the final round, Fiziev blasted Gaethje with a clean right hand that would send everyone else in the division to the Shadow Realm, but “The Highlight” somehow remained upright, responded, and then rallied, putting it on the emerging contender in the second half of the round. Maia has now earned consecutive victories over younger fighters looking to climb beyond her in the rankings, cementing her position as a Top 10 fixture in the process. The Brazilian came out moving well and landing at a greater clip, stinging O’Neill with clean right hands as she came forward before using her movement to keep her range and force O’Neill to follow. After spending the whole of his UFC career at bantamweight prior to Saturday night, Shore looked sharp in his first appearance at featherweight. In the second and third, “The Italian Dream” banked on his output and movement, remaining technical while Dolidze looked to score with high-impact blows at a much lower clip. After winning his first two UFC appearances, Morales has now suffered three straight losses, falling to 11-4 with Saturday’s setback. The judges were called upon again to determine the victor, and two of the three judges felt that Murphy had done more. The British Contender Series graduate stung Gordon with a body shot right out of the chute and continued to go back to that well in the clinch. Her left hand was sharp over the final two rounds and caused Wood trouble, but the former Ultimate Fighter contestant was able to respond in kind and crank up the impact of her offence down the stretch. Her pace remained quick throughout, and she landed her best shot of the fight late in the contest, blasting Miller with a high kick with just over a minute remaining in the contest.

I was trying to set it up with kicks to the body and legs." London you've got yourself a great champion." He's a brother like myself and great respect. The early stages saw Usman pushing forward, using his jab and feinting takedowns. "I think I did enough to win the fight but I knew it was close," he said. "I couldn't get the kick around his head. As the bell rang at the end of the fight Usman raised his hands, believing he had won, and he maintained this position in the post-fight interview while paying tribute to Edwards. He just had lots of pressure. The pair shared a moment of respect as they touched gloves at the start of the fifth - the 13th round they had shared together - and while Usman persisted in looking for takedowns against visibly tiring Edwards, the Briton was able to battle on to a majority decision win. The third round brought a nervous moment for Edwards as he was deducted a point by referee Herb Dean for holding on to the cage to prevent a takedown by Usman, which was greeted with disdain by the crowd. He didn't land many clean on me. "I know it was a close fight so I knew I had to land the cleaner shots.

Edwards made the first defence of his UFC welterweight title by beating Kamaru Usman in London and 'Rocky' will now face Colby Covington in his next fight.

Covington will look to win the welterweight belt on his third attempt having previously come up short twice in his title fights against former champion Usman. Covington was in London to watch Edwards beat Usman as he flew over from America on short notice to serve as a backup fighter for their title clash. Edwards downplayed a fight with Covington next and said he'd rather fight Jorge Masvidal, granted 'Gamebred' can get past Gilbert Burns in their fight next month. I'm the ultimate professional unlike these other guys as I stay ready to fight." Not to mention that he's the second or third best guy in the world." 'Rocky' put on a perfect gameplan as he nullified the takedown threat from Usman across five rounds to win by majority decision with scores of 48-46, 48-46 and 47-47.

Gaethje teased his impending retirement as he makes one last run for the UFC lightweight title.

Round 1 likely belonged to Fiziev, Round 2 was a tossup and Round 3 was certainly Gaethje's most decisive round despite the early scare.

"I'm taking one more run at the title, but I won't be around for much longer," Gaethje told UFC commentator Daniel Cormier in a post-fight interview at the O2 Arena in London, England. Fiziev repeatedly talked trash between his blitzes while Gaethje maintained a sense of humor despite the grueling pace.

Justin Gaethje doesn't think training partner Kamaru Usman was getting a fair shake from Michael Bisping at UFC 286.

I wouldn’t have done that backflip if I wasn’t 99 percent sure that I won that fight.” But he’s sure the boss won’t have a problem with it. I knew that I won that fight. [Rafael Fiziev](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/4895/rafael-fiziev) also ended in a majority decision draw with a result that was read out in an unorthodox manner. “But I’m probably as biased as the judges. “I thought [Usman] won the fight,” Gaethje said when asked for his thoughts on the Edwards-Usman trilogy bout.
