UFC London Results: Sean Brady Submits Leon Edwards in Upset Win

By LockerRoom Team March 23, 2025

Sean Brady seized a short-notice opportunity to earn the biggest victory of his career, submitting former welterweight champion Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the O2 Arena.

Brady and Edwards exchanged strikes in a competitive first round, but the American wrestler dominated the second and third rounds with his grappling. In the fourth, Brady secured a mounted guillotine choke, forcing Edwards to tap at 1:39.

"It feels amazing," Brady said. "I took this fight the day I got out of the hospital with my wife and newborn baby. I knew I could do this against anybody in the division. I just showed that against one of the most prestigious champions."

In the co-main event, Carlos Ulberg extended his winning streak to eight with a unanimous decision over former light heavyweight champion Jan Błachowicz.
