[Official Scorecards](https://www.ufc.com/news/official-judges-scorecards-ufc-286-edwards-vs-usman-3) [UFC 286: Edwards vs Usman 3](/event/ufc-286) took place live from the O2 Arena in London in March 18, 2023. [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.

Usman, 35, beat [Tyron Woodley](https://www.espn.com/mma/fighter/_/id/2501926/tyron-woodley) by unanimous decision to win the championship at UFC 235 in March 2019.

Edwards was clearly losing to Usman (20-3) at UFC 278 when he landed a stunning head kick that knocked the then-champion and No. It was a much different fight and different Edwards from eight months ago. Two judges scored the five-round title bout 48-46 in favor of Edwards while a third scored it a 47-47 draw.

"These other two idiots, they walk down the street and not one in 10 people are going to recognise them. "In America, we like to quote the great poet [rapper] Lil Wayne.

UFC 286 fight fallout: What's next for Leon Edwards and Kamaru ... (CBSSports.com)

The wheels are in motion for Edwards vs. Covington; meanwhile, the path is clear for a sequel to Gaethje vs. Dustin Poirier.

The winner has the style and star power to call out the winner of Makhachev vs. He showed great durability against Gaethje and should is still a major threat to anyone in the division. He's lost a combined three fights to Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker, two of the three contenders ranked ahead of him. So let's use this opportunity to possibly build a fresh face in the division. The two most concerning components of du Plessis' game are his endurance and his striking defense. Both men are near the top of the division and lack a clear next opponent. If Masvidal beat Burns, UFC might lean into the bad blood stemming from a backstage brawl in 2019 between Edwards and Masvidal. Khamzat Chimaev badly missed the welterweight limit in his last fight and is nowhere to be seen with expectations of moving up to middleweight. Usman vs. Edwards leaned on tremendous defensive wrestling and superior striking to cinch the series in Pick up the pieces from UFC 286 on Saturday night and there is a lot to sort out. Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns: There is a serious lack of undeniable contenders at welterweight now that Edwards and Usman have completed their trilogy.

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. Gaethje, an accomplished collegiate wrestler, secured the first takedown of his 11-fight UFC career on Fiziev. "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. Gaethje proved he still has what it takes at the highest level while living up to his reputation as the sport's most violent fighter in a It appeared for a moment that the end was near early in Round 3.
