Leon Edwards retains his UFC welterweight title after claiming victory over Nigeria’s Kamaru Usman in London early Sunday.

The Briton edged out the former champion Usman in their trilogy encounter at the O2 Arena.

The Judges scored the fight 48-46, 48-46, 47-47 to give Edwards a majority decision.

This is the first time since 2016 a British UFC champion has defended a world title on home soil.

Speaking with BT Sports after the loss, Usman said “I think I did enough to win the fight but I knew it was close. He had a great game plan. I always said from the start we’d meet again and I’m not done. We will see each other again.

“I always gave him props for what he’s accomplished. He’s a brother like myself and great respect. London you’ve got yourself a great champion.”
