UFC 278 Fighters you need to watch out
5. Luke Rockhold
The former UFC Middleweight Champion is an elite mix martial artist has fought against the toughest of competition.
Rockhold is making his much awaited return after 3 years and is set to headline the UFC 278 Co-main event against Paulo Costa.
He may look rusty but he won’t be an easy target for Paulo Costa.

4. Jose Aldo
Jose Aldo is a legend on three fight win streak and fighter on a mission to become champion across two divisions.
He is on a 3 fight win streak ready to fight Merab Dvalishvili with a 7 fight win streak.
Aldo is still hailed as the Featherweight GOAT and would be on the verge of a Bantamweight Title shot after this win.

3. Leon Edward
Rocky is set to headline the UFC 278 Main Event and get his first shot at the UFC Gold.
Edwards is currently ranked number 2 in the UFC Welterweight Division and is on a 10 fight unbeaten streak.
The opportunity is quite huge for Leon. This not only gives him an opportunity to be a Champion but also get revenge on the pound for pound king.
This will be like beating the biggest fighter in the world currently and it not only gets you the title but now all the eyes would be on him.

2. Paulo Costa
Costa is favorite entering the UFC 278 co-main event against Luke Rockhold.
However, he is a fighter who once was 13-0 and 5-0 in the UFC but now is on a two fight losing skid.
He is undoubtedly an elite and entertaining striker. His first four UFC victories came by KO and has fought in entertaining wars with guys like Romero and Vettori.
The champ is vibin' through media day 👑

1. Kamaru Usman
The biggest star attraction of UFC 278 is none other than the Pound for Pound King Kamaru Usman.
Usman holds the undefeated UFC record of 15-0 and an overall Pro MMA record of 20-1.
The Nigerian Nightmare has 5 successful title defenses but only came against 3 fighters including Jorge Masvidal, Colby Covington and Gilbert Burns. He fought and defeated Colby and Jorge twice.
Usman is now on the verge of creating history. A victory over Leon Edwards would put him right next to Anderson Silva for most consecutive UFC wins.
