As UFC 286 looms just a day away, Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards are ready to go head-to-head in a highly-anticipated rematch at London’s O2 Arena. The last time these two welterweight fighters met in the Octagon, Edwards pulled off a surprise upset, defeating Usman via a nasty KO kick. But now, Usman is determined to avenge that loss and prove that he is the better fighter. For a 35-year-old Usman, getting into this rematch hasn’t been an easy task. The Nigerian fighter had been battling a knee injury, which played a major role in his last upset against ‘Rocky’.

Although Usman claims to be fully recovered from his injury, his knees tell a different story. Recently, a picture of Usman’s knees surfaced on the internet, leaving fight fans bewildered by their unusual appearance. This revelation has sparked concern among some UFC enthusiasts, who wonder how it will affect his performance in the upcoming rematch.
