Top lightweight UFC Islam Makhachev expressed confidence that the former welterweight champion of the promotion Kamaru Usman will return his belt in the next fight with Leon Edwards.

On August 21 at UFC 278, Edwards knocked out Usman in the last minute of the bout.

“Edwards was lucky because Usman beat him almost all five rounds. Yes, in the first round, Leon moved him and took his back, but in the rest of the rounds, Kamaru dealt with him without problems.

In the next match, Kamuru will beat him, 100%. Edwards constantly has problems with wrestlers, ”Makhachev said in an interview with ESPN.

Recall that the last fight was the second in the history of the confrontation between Usman and Edwards. Their first meeting took place in December 2015 and ended with the victory of the Cameroonian on points.
