UFC 286 is a preliminary fight.

 


The UFC has released the cold open for Saturday's UFC 286, which will feature Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3.

UFC 286 will take place at The O2 in London and will be broadcast live on ESPN+ pay-per-view. The video, which can be seen above, was released by the UFC on Thursday.

The video begins with Dave Lovell attempting to motivate a tired Edwards in the late rounds of his rematch with Usman at UFC 278. After a strong start, Usman dominated the then-welterweight challenger and was defeated on all scorecards.

The unthinkable then occurred.

In the fifth round of the rematch, which serves as the backdrop for the trilogy on Saturday in London, frequent UFC narrator and actor Ron Perlman sets the stage for Edwards' incredible comeback. "Eye of the Tiger" plays as Edwards lands the world-famous head-kick.

Usman attempts to settle the score and reclaim the welterweight title he defended five times before disaster struck in the final act of the fight.

A lightweight brawl between one-time interim champ Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev promises to be bloody in the co-main event.
