Fellow fighters react to Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev's epic fight ...

Leon Edwards did it again. The welterweight champion defeated Kamaru Usman by majority decision in the main event of UFC 286 in London on Saturday to complete a trilogy and earn bragging rights over the former pound-for-pound king.

Edwards (21-3 1 NC) edged Usman (20-3) with scorecards of 48-46, 48-46 and 47-47. The victory puts their rivalry 2-1 in favor of Edwards.

In the co-main event, lightweight contender Justin Gaethje defeated Rafael Fiziev by majority decision. It was an action-packed fight that ended with scorecards of 29-28, 29-28, 28-28.

Gaethje (24-4), a former interim lightweight champion, has won six of his past eight fights, with the two losses coming in bouts for the UFC lightweight belt. Fiziev (12-2) was riding a six-fight winning streak before Saturday's loss.

Fellow fighters took to social media to express their admiration for the great matchups and both winners:
