Back in action after losing his title to Belal Muhammad last summer, Leon Edwards is ready for his next challenge against grappling sensation Sean Brady at UFC London. Meanwhile, former light heavyweight champ Jan Blachowicz is set to make his return after nearly two years to take on New Zealand’s knockout artist Carlos Ulberg.
UFC London Main Event
Last time out, Leon Edwards was hoping to defend his welterweight title for the third time in front of his home crowd in England. Unfortunately, Belal Muhammad had other plans, scoring a unanimous decision victory that cost Edwards his belt. Originally, Edwards was set to clash with Jack Della Maddalena. However, he now faces the grappling prowess of Sean Brady in a high-stakes battle that might have title implications for both fighters.
Sean Brady has been nothing short of impressive in the UFC, aside from a single knockout loss to champion Muhammad in late 2022. He’s racked up victories over tough competitors like Jake Matthews, Michael Chiesa, Kelvin Gastelum, and Gilbert Burns. If Brady manages to defeat another top name like Edwards at UFC London, he could be gearing up for a title shot in 2025.
UFC London Co-Main Event
Jan Blachowicz gave Alex Pereira a tough fight in their light heavyweight encounter before injuries kept him on the sidelines throughout 2023 and 2024. Now fully recovered, Blachowicz has a chance to earn a rematch with current champion Magomed Ankalaev if he makes a strong statement in the UK.
Carlos Ulberg, after losing to Kennedy Nzechukwu in early 2021, has been on a tear through the 205-lb division, taking out fighters like Jung Da-un, Alonzo Menifield, and Volkan Oezdemir. Known for his striking, Ulberg will face a stern test against Blachowicz, a former UFC champion and one of the division’s hardest hitters.
