Edwards vs Usman 3
Back in December 2015, Usman defeated Edwards via decision in their first match-up on the prelims of Dos Anjos vs. Cowboy 2 in Florida.
In the main event of the UFC 278, Edwards got his revenge by knocking out Usman with a head kick in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Now set for their third fight, Chimaev has branded both fighters as clowns.
Chimaev has been a massive contender for the welterweight title but was not even considered as a backup for the trilogy fight.
