Britain's Leon Edwards retained his welterweight title after defeating Kamaru Usman by a majority decision at UFC 286 in London.

The 31-year-old was the more dangerous striker, as he prevented a lot of Usman's takedown attempts.

The victory over Usman sees Edwards make his first title defence since beating the Nigerian in August.

The bout at the O2 Arena was billed as the biggest British MMA fight in history.
