UFC is back in the UK with an exciting fight card for fans!
The main event on Saturday night features former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards facing Sean Brady in a five-round fight. The winner will be closer to a title opportunity.
Edwards, 33, aims to return to winning form after losing his welterweight title last July in Manchester. That previous UK event, UFC 304, saw Edwards lose to Belal Muhammad in the main event.
Now, he faces Sean Brady, a significant challenge for Edwards, who will want to deliver a strong performance for his home fans.
Edwards mentioned that his fight will be at a “normal time,” addressing previous issues with late start times.
Brady is a tough opponent, with recent victories over Kelvin Gastelum and Gilbert Burns. He is currently ranked fifth in the welterweight division. A victory over Edwards could propel Sean Brady to the top rankings and a potential title fight.
The event in London will feature many well-known fighters, adding to the excitement for fans.
