Head to London's O2 Arena for UFC Fight Night 255 and the welterweight clash between England's Leon Edwards and American Sean Brady.

Over 9 months after losing his welterweight belt to Palestinian Belal Muhammad on a judges' decision, Leon Edwards returns to the octagon this weekend. And there's no better way to put the frustration of last July behind him than to meet up with his London fans again at a packed O2 Arena.

Undefeated between 2016 and that famous fight he lost in the summer of 2024, “Rocky” wants to show that the loss of the title will have allowed him to question himself and renew his thirst for victory. Having beaten the likes of Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington in recent years, Leon Edwards no longer has to prove himself, but will be keen to show that he can still return to the throne in the welterweight division.

But Sean Brady is determined to spoil the party in the English capital. The American has only suffered one setback in his UFC career, and that was against Belal Muhammad in 2022. Apart from that defeat, the Pennsylvania native has impressed, but has yet to show his full potential against the category's benchmarks.

So far, Sean Brady's only big opponent has been Gilbert Burns, winning by decision after 5 well-controlled rounds. But against the former welterweight master, he'll have to go one step further to continue growing. And as one of the most promising prospects, this main event will be the perfect opportunity to showcase his talent.
