UFC 278: Usman vs. Edwards 2 is an ongoing mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship taking place on August 20, 2022, at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.[1]
Background
The event will mark the promotion's second visit to Salt Lake City, following UFC Fight Night: Rodríguez vs. Caceres in August 2016.[2]
A UFC Welterweight Championship bout between current champion (also The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians welterweight winner) Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards is expected to headline the event.[3] The pairing previously met at UFC on Fox: dos Anjos vs. Cowboy 2 in December 2015 where Usman defeated Edwards by unanimous decision.[4]
A middleweight bout between former Strikeforce and UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold and former title challenger Paulo Costa was expected to take place at UFC 277.[5] However, the bout was postponed to this event due to unknown reasons.[6]
A flyweight bout between Victor Altamirano and Jake Hadley was scheduled for this event.[7] However, after Hadley pulled out of the bout due to injury he was replaced by Daniel Lacerda.[8]
A women's flyweight bout between Miranda Maverick and Shanna Young was scheduled for the event.[9] However, the bout was cancelled on the day of the weigh-ins as Young was hospitalized due to weight cut issues.[10]
