The UFC is back in London, England this week for Saturday’s UFC London fight card. The UFC Fight Night features a main event between Leon Edwards and Sean Brady. Edwards, a former UFC welterweight champion, competes for the first time since losing his belt to Belal Muhammad in July 2024. The rising Brady is coming off back-to-back wins following a 2022 knockout loss to Muhammad. In the UFC London 2025 co-main event, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz faces the charging Carlos Ulberg. We look at the details for the UFC London fight card, including the date, location, time and how to watch or stream Saturday’s UFC event.

UFC London Main Event: Leon Edwards Vs. Sean Brady

Leon Edwards (22-4-0-1) joined the UFC in late 2014. He was 8-1 at the time and coming off a successful defense of the BAMMA British welterweight title.

Edwards dropped his UFC debut, losing a split decision to Claudio Silva in November 2014. He then scored a knockout win and a “Performance of the Night” bonus against Seth Baczynski. A decision victory over Pawel Pawlak followed.

In December 2015, Edwards faced Kamaru Usman on the early prelims of a UFC on Fox card. Usman won that contest by unanimous decision. That fight, which took place more than eight years ago, was the last time Edwards was on the losing end of a UFC contest.

Following his loss to Usman, Edwards picked up wins over Dominic Waters (decision), Albert Tumenov (submission), Vicente Luque (decision), and Bryan Barberena (decision). The victory over Barberena, which came on the main card of a September 2017 UFC Fight Night event in Rotterdam, earned Edwards the No. 15 spot in the welterweight rankings.

After that, Edwards went on a four-fight winning streak, picking up three decision wins and one TKO. That stretch of wins put him at No. 3 in the rankings. Edwards was initially booked to face former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in March 2020, but Edwards, who fights out of England, was forced to withdraw from that event due to COVID-19 restrictions after the card was moved from the UK to the US. The event was eventually scrapped.

After the Woodley fight was canceled, Edwards wanted to fight Jorge Masvidal, someone ranked ahead of him or for the UFC welterweight crown. With none of those fights being offered to him, Edwards was inactive. That inactivity resulted in the UFC removing him from the rankings, something he did not take well.

One day after the UFC removed Edwards from the rankings, the promotion announced Edwards vs. Khamzat Chimaev for a UFC Fight Night event in December 2020. With that booking, the UFC put Edwards back into the rankings at No. 3. That fight never took place as both fighters tested positive for COVID. Chimaev then pulled out of the rebooked fight because of lingering COVID effects. The UFC tried to book the bout again, but Chimaev was again forced out because he was still dealing with COVID issues. With that, the UFC booked the Edwards vs. Muhammad contest discussed above.

A decision win over Nate Diaz at UFC 263 in June 2021 followed for Edwards, which set up Edwards vs. then-champion Usman for the welterweight title in March 2023. Edwards. Behind on all three scorecards as the clock ticked down, Edwards delivered a perfectly placed and timed head kick that dropped Usman to the mat at 4:04 of the final round. With that, Edwards captured UFC gold.

Edwards defeated Usman in the March 2023 rematch by majority decision. He then defended the title in December 2023 with a unanimous decision win over Colby Covington.

Edwards was unbeaten in 13 fights heading into his UFC 304 fight against Belal Muhammad. Muhammad took the title from Edwards with a unanimous decision (48–47, 48–47, 49–46).

Edwards is the No. 1 fighter in the official UFC welterweight rankings. He was initially booked to face Jack Della Maddalena on this card, but Della Maddalena was moved to the main event of UFC 315 opposite Belal Muhammad.

Sean Brady (17-1) had won and defended the Cage Fury FC welterweight title twice when he got the call to join the UFC in 2019. At the time, Brady had a 10-0 record. UFC victories over Court McGee, Ismail Naurdiev, Christian Aguilera, Jake Matthews, and Michael Chiesa moved that record to 15-0. That run earned the Philadelphia-based fighter the No. 8 ranking in the UFC’s 170-pound weight class and a fight against the No. 5 ranked Belal Muhammad. Muhammad won that October 2022 fight by TKO in the second round.

Injuries prevented Brady from competing again until December 2023. When he did step into the Octagon again, Brady handled himself well, earning a “Performance of the Night” bonus for his submission win over Kelvin Gastelum.

Another injury has kept Brady out of action until UFC Vegas 97, which took place in September 2024. Brady picked up a second straight win in that contest, defeating former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision in a five-round affair.

I wrote of the performance, “Sean Brady could have fought better against Belal Muhammad in 2022. However, that knockout loss has aged pretty well for the Philly-born fighter. Muhammad has since earned the UFC welterweight title, and Brady has bounced back to beat two former title challengers in his past two outings. In 2023, he topped ex-UFC interim middleweight challenger Kelvin Gastelum by submission. On Saturday night, Brady defeated ex-welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns by decision. More importantly, Brady looked better in each of those outings, which is to say that the 31-year-old might not have reached the pinnacle of his skills.

“Brady, who is a phenomenal grappler, added some new wrinkles to his striking game at UFC Vegas 97, fighting well behind his jab, and even adding some combinations to his repertoire, when he had time and space to employ his striking effectvily. He also did an excellent job of negating Burns’s striking, limiting him to just 47 landed significant strikes on 97 attempts. For his part, Brady racked up 130 significant strikes on 217 attempts.

“Brady also landed seven takedowns and earned 10:34 of control time.”

Brady enters this weekend’s fight card as the No. 5 fighter in the UFC’s 170-pound division.

UFC London Fight Card Odds And Predictions: Edwards Vs. Brady

UFC London Co-Main Event: Jan Blachowicz Vs. Carlos Ulberg

Blachowicz (29-10-1) has been with the UFC since October 2014. Since that time, the 41-year-old has compiled a 12-7-1 UFC record. Blachowicz won the vacant UFC light heavyweight title in September 2020 with a TKO victory over Dominick Reyes.

The Polish competitor defended his crown in March 2021 with a unanimous decision win over then-UFC middleweight titleholder Israel Adesanya. The loss was the first setback of Adesanya’s career.

Glover Teixeira took the title from Blachowicz in October 2021, winning the UFC 267 contest via second-round submission.

Blachowicz has a 1-1-1 record since that defeat. In May 2022 he earned a TKO win over Aleksander Rakic. The ex-champ followed that by fighting Magomed Ankalaev to a draw in December 2022. In his most recent outing, Blachowicz lost a split-decision to Alex Pereira. That contest took place in July 2023.

Blachowicz was scheduled to face Rakic in a rematch in January, but that fight fell through because of an injury to Blachowicz’s shoulder that required surgery.

Blachowicz is the No. 3 fighter in the official UFC light heavyweight rankings.

Ulberg (11-1) made his UFC debut in March 2021 after winning a contract on a Dana White’s Contender Series card. Ulberg’s knockout win on the DWCS moved his record to 5-0. At the time Ulberg was known mostly as a member of the City Kickboxing team out of Auckland, New Zealand. Today, he is Carlos Ulberg, the N0. 6 ranked fighter in the UFC’s light heavyweight division.

Ulberg’s official UFC run began at UFC 259 with a loss. Kennedy Nzechukwu knocked out Ulberg in a Fight of the Night bonus-winning scrap on that night in March 2021.

Since that defeat, Ulberg has gone 7-0 with five stoppage victories. The 34-year-old is coming off a November 2024 decision win over former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Volkan Oezdemir.
