Welcome to the live blog coverage of the UFC London main event featuring a welterweight showdown between Leon Edwards and Sean Brady. The action unfolds this Saturday at the O2 Arena.
Former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards steps back into the octagon for the first time since his title loss to Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 in July. Edwards, at 33 years old, sees his last performance as an off night and is determined to earn a rematch with Muhammad by making a statement against Brady.
Currently holding the No. 5 welterweight rank, Sean Brady had a flawless record in his first five UFC fights before encountering current champion Belal Muhammad in 2022. Since that defeat, the Philadelphia fighter has bounced back impressively, securing a submission victory over Kelvin Gastelum and a unanimous decision win against Gilbert Burns last September. Brady now has a significant opportunity to solidify his position as a top contender in the 170-pound division and potentially set up his own rematch with Muhammad.
