[Official Scorecards](https://www.ufc.com/news/official-judges-scorecards-ufc-286-edwards-vs-usman-3) [UFC 286: Edwards vs Usman 3](/event/ufc-286) took place live from the O2 Arena in London in March 18, 2023. [Edwards](/athlete/leon-edwards) chopping with loads of kicks, [Usman](/athlete/kamaru-usman) pressuring constantly, working behind his hands, and neither really grabbing a clear advantage. Early in the final round, Fiziev blasted Gaethje with a clean right hand that would send everyone else in the division to the Shadow Realm, but “The Highlight” somehow remained upright, responded, and then rallied, putting it on the emerging contender in the second half of the round. Maia has now earned consecutive victories over younger fighters looking to climb beyond her in the rankings, cementing her position as a Top 10 fixture in the process. The Brazilian came out moving well and landing at a greater clip, stinging O’Neill with clean right hands as she came forward before using her movement to keep her range and force O’Neill to follow. After spending the whole of his UFC career at bantamweight prior to Saturday night, Shore looked sharp in his first appearance at featherweight. In the second and third, “The Italian Dream” banked on his output and movement, remaining technical while Dolidze looked to score with high-impact blows at a much lower clip. After winning his first two UFC appearances, Morales has now suffered three straight losses, falling to 11-4 with Saturday’s setback. The judges were called upon again to determine the victor, and two of the three judges felt that Murphy had done more. The British Contender Series graduate stung Gordon with a body shot right out of the chute and continued to go back to that well in the clinch. Her left hand was sharp over the final two rounds and caused Wood trouble, but the former Ultimate Fighter contestant was able to respond in kind and crank up the impact of her offence down the stretch. Her pace remained quick throughout, and she landed her best shot of the fight late in the contest, blasting Miller with a high kick with just over a minute remaining in the contest.
