Main Event: Leon Edwards Takes on Sean Brady
Leon Edwards enters this match seeking to maintain his undefeated streak at home after suffering a unanimous decision loss against Belal Muhammad last summer in Manchester. Prior to that setback, “Rocky” enjoyed an impressive run with 13 consecutive fights without defeat and aims to reaffirm his status among elite contenders in the welterweight division.
On the other side of Octagon is Sean Brady, who is poised for a title shot after achieving three successive victories since his lone loss to Muhammad at UFC 280. Following his submission triumph over Kelvin Gastelum at late 2023’s end and an outpointing victory against Gilbert Burns earlier this year, he currently boasts a record of 17 wins with just one loss.
The original matchup was set between Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena; however, Della Maddalena received an opportunity for title contention against Muhammad at UFC 315 in Montreal — thereby paving way for Brady’s entry into this intense bout. As opposed to facing Della Maddalena’s striking style, Edwards is tasked with confronting a wrestler whose challenge poses different expectations on him leading into this battle following July’s performance that many viewed as below par.
