Former undisputed welterweight champion, Leon Edwards is set to remain on next month’s UFC London card — just against a different opponent, as he now takes on Philadelphia grappling talent, Sean Brady over the course of five rounds in the capital. The ‘Fight Night’ billed event is scheduled to take place on March 22. from The O2 Arena.
Edwards, who remains the number one ranked welterweight contender, was initially scheduled to headline the card against surging Perth native, Jack Della Maddalena, however, the latter has been drafted into a UFC 315 title fight with Belal Muhammad, with the unbeaten, Shavkat Rakhmonov sidelined through injury.
