Following Edwards' spectacular victory against Usman at UFC 278 with a head kick, talk of a rematch to complete the trilogy has been gaining momentum.

MMA Junkie@MMAJunkieDana White reveals he's interested in Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3 in England and is "serious, but not serious" about doing it at Wembley.#UFC278 Full video: bit.ly/3AfEdeG31934Dana White reveals he's interested in Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3 in England and is "serious, but not serious" about doing it at Wembley.#UFC278 Full video: bit.ly/3AfEdeG https://t.co/JDc7NpKPm1 While reacting to talks of a rematch, Chael Sonnen said that he finds it unlikely it will be booked immediately. Contrary to what others are suggesting, he believes that Dana White was put on the spot at the post-fight media scrum, and Sonnen didn't hear him confirm the rematch: ''While I read this headline, and while I watched this clip [Dana White's post-fight interview], and while I'm well aware that I might have missed something, I don't think I have.'' He believes that there are several moving parts in the form of the number one contender spot that need to be considered: ''For Dana to go and announce Jiri vs. Glover, he's got Ankalaev vs. Anthony Smith which people believe is the number one contender fight. I'm going back in time if this was one of the things that, from a political standpoint, is going to have to be considered. The headlines said that Dana said this [booking rematch between Edwards and Usman], Dana has already spoken about what's going to happen. I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, I also believe that it's not true.''
