UFC 278 PPV live stream: how to watch Usman vs Edwards 2 online

UFC 278 is happening tonight at 7pm ET / 10pm PT (or 3am BST), however, if you don't want to miss a moment of things then the early prelims start at 3pm PT / 6pm ET (that's 11pm BST). We're showing you how to watch UFC 278 where you're based anywhere in the world. 

The Welterweight championship gold is contested yet again tonight at UFC 278 as Leon Edwards will attempt to strip Kamura Usman of his belt. The two first faced off all the way back in 2015, shortly after the Nigerian Nightmare signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, so this long-awaited rematch is certainly going to be one for the history books. Usman remains undefeated within the UFC with an impressive 15-win streak, easily making him of the greatest combatants that the organization has ever had. One thing's for sure, Rocky is certainly the underdog in this fight. 

That's to take nothing away from Leon Edwards' long list of achievements, of course. Rocky has only lost twice within the company, to Claudio Silva and Usman himself early on in his professional MMA career. Given that the former was unstoppable at this time, and the latter still has to be taken down, that's still a feat to be commended. Edwards enters the Octagon a year after his last appearance following a decision victory against the tough-as-nails Nate Diaz, so tonight's result could be far closer to call than anticipated.

Naturally, the headlining main event bout at UFC 278 is far from the only spectacle on offer, though. There's also the middleweight bout between Paulo Costa and Luke Rockhold to look forward to as well. Both men break into 2022 reeling from two losses a piece, with Borrachinha being defeated by Adesanya and Vettori, and Rockhold being knocked out twice by Yoel Romero and Jan Blachowicz respectively. Regardless of the past, one man is going to leave the Vivint Arena with a win to their name. 

There's a lot more to be hyped for at UFC 278, of course, including the return of José Aldo and a heavyweight bout between Marcin Tybura and Alexandr Romanov to come, too. This is one pay-per-view event that you're not going to want to pass up.
