In the main event of UFC 278, Edwards pulled off a last-minute knockout of now-former champion Kamaru Usman to claim the welterweight title. Entering the week at No. 3, Edwards walks out of Salt Lake City with gold and the new No. 1 slot in this week’s rankings update. The title changing hands also caused a massive shakeup in the men’s P4P, which Edwards has now entered.
