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.

Sam Patterson was KO'd on his UFC debut but took a minute to realise the fight was over as he attempted to fight on.

I was waiting for him to throw something so I could go inside and work. "The fans were loud because my opponent was from here," he told media after the fight. Eventually, his coach was forced to intervene and tell the Watford native that the contest was over. "Genuinely hard to watch." Fans took to social media to criticise the stoppage and to show concern for the beaten man. Patterson was highly-touted ahead of his promotional bow at UFC 286 in London on Saturday night but was stopping inside four minutes by the unbeaten Ashmoz.

Leon Edwards held on to his welterweight title with a points win over Kamaru Usman in their trilogy fight at UFC 286.

And he made a sharp start to the second as he targeted Usman's legs before he wobbled his challenger momentarily with a knee to his head.

Edwards, who was born in Jamaica and now fights out of Birmingham, England, really changed the complexity of the fight with his anti-wrestling. "I knew it was a close fight," Usman said.

I'm glad to boost the ratings and bring some electricity to this O2 Arena." "Did you hear me cry, did you hear me make excuses?" The confirmation call came at "about 10 p.m." "If Dana White comes and taps on my shoulder, I'm stepping in that cage tonight and I will bring that belt back to America, where it belongs.

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.
