This is the UFC London live blog for Leon Edwards vs. Sean Brady, the welterweight main event on Saturday at The O2 Arena.
The former UFC welterweight champion, Edwards is competing for the first time since dropping his title to Belal Muhammad back in July at UFC 304. Still just 33 years old, Edwards believes his performance against Muhammad was one bad night, and hopes to earn another crack at “Remember the Name” with an impressive showing against Brady on Saturday.
Currently ranked No. 5 in the welterweight division, Brady was perfect for his first five UFC fights before running afoul of now-champion Belal Muhammad in 2022. Following that loss, the pride of Philadelphia rebounded with a submission win over Kelvin Gastelum and, most recently, won a unanimous decision over Gilbert Burns this past September. Now, Brady has a chance to cement his place as a top contender at 170 pounds and earn his own rematch with Muhammad.
