BT Sport Box Office will be the exclusive home to this awaited fight

The trilogy fight between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards will be shown exclusively on BT Sport Box Office in the UK and Ireland. This UFC mega event will be available as a Pay-Per-View for £19.95 and you will not have to be a subscriber to BT Sport to gain access to the event.

It will be an intriguing fight card at UFC 286. Apart from the top-of-the-line main event, which will feature Usman taking on Edwards, Justin Gaethje will face Rafael Fiziev in the co-main event.

In the rest of the match card, Joanne Wood will face Brazil's Luana Carolina in a flyweight bout, and Marvin Vettori will face Roman Dolidze.

The Showdown will take place at the O2 arena, which has hosted some of the biggest fights in the UK for the past few years. The weigh-in and build-up will be live on the BT Sport 4 channel at 8:45 PM GMT on the 17th of March.

The last fight between Usman and Edwards made 300,000 PPV buys

The UFC 278 event was one of the biggest highlights of last year. Although it was not top of the charts in terms of PPV buys, however, it had all the drama and thrill within it that is likely to make UFC 286 the biggest event this year.

It all started with Edwards' acrobatic and unexpected knockout of Usman Kumaru, which made him a sensation and sent fans wild. Usman, however, won the first battle between Usman and Edwards by unanimous decision in December 2015.

This UFC 286 will finally settle the long-running debate between Usman and Edwards on who is better, as Usman wants to prove that he is superior to Edwards after falling to him the last time around in Salt Lake City. On the other hand, Edwards wants to show that his victory was not a one-night miracle.
