Rocky became just Britain’s second UFC champion with a Hail Mary headbutt in the dying embers of the fifth and final round.

Usman’s stunning knockout has set up a tantalizing trilogy fight, which will take place at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night.

A potential “Fight of the Year” contender between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev will serve as the co-main event.

Fan favorite Gaethje will be looking to earn a third shot at the lightweight title with a blowout victory over the soaring Fiziev.

Azerbaijani banger Fiziev, meanwhile, hopes to announce himself as an elite 155-pounder with a bloody victory over the former interim champion.

A slew of Britons will also be in action on the sold-out O2 Arena card.

England’s Lerone Murphy and Muhammad Mokaev will face off with Gabrel Santos and Jafel Filho respectively.

Christian Leroy Duncan, Sam Patterson, Jai Herbert and Jake Hadley make up the rest of the England contingent, taking on Dusko Todorovic, Yanal Ashmoz, Udovt Klein and Malcolm Gordon respectively.

Joanne Wood, Casey O’Neil and Chris Duncan will carry the flag for Scotland, taking on Luana Carolina, Jennifer Maia and Omar Morales.
