UFC 278 live stream: How to watch Usman vs Edwards 2 online tonight and card

Tonight, when you watch the UFC 278 live stream online, you get to (sorta) travel back to a simpler time. 2015 was the last time Kamaru Usman (20-1) fought Leon Edwards, and while Usman — the current UFC welterweight champ — decisively won that match via unanimous decision, both have had strong runs since. 

But one match has been taken off the card. Shanna Young was hospitalized due to issues with her weight cut. Her opponent Miranda Maverick is now off the card as well.

Usman, the #1 ranked Men's pound-for-pound fighter as of August 8, 2022, hasn't lost a fight since May 24, 2013, when Jose Caceres submittted him via rear-naked choke at 3 minutes and 37 seconds into the first round (which is how Edwards gained two of his 19 victories in his career. Edwards is undefeated since that loss to Usman, though, last beating Nate Diaz last June. 

Both fighters have racked up 10 submission-based wins in their careers, but Usman has nine knockouts to Edwards' six. A successful title defense here would mark Usman's sixth in a row.

That said, Usman is the clear favorite — though the odds have tightened a bit. As of the time of publishing, DraftKings has Usman as the favorite at -345 (wager $345 to win $100). Edwards is the underdog, at +285 (bet $100 to win $285).
