4 p.m. ET: Main Card | 1 p.m. ET: Prelims
Both Available on ESPN+ & SiriusXM Fight Nation
UFC action continues this weekend with UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Brady live from The O2 in London on Saturday, March 22. The main card begins at 4 p.m. ET with the prelims starting at 1 p.m., both available on ESPN+ and SiriusXM Fight Nation.
Main Event:
- Former welterweight champion, No. 1 Leon Edwards goes head-to-head with surging No. 5 contender Sean Brady in the main event. Edwards (22-4), tied for the second-most title fight wins among active welterweights, makes his return to the Octagon after his first championship defeat, preceded by a 13-fight unbeaten streak, to prove he’s next in line for a shot at the 170-pound throne. Brady (17-1), riding back-to-back wins in his last two Octagon appearances, looks to make the most of this second consecutive main event and turn his decade of MMA success into his first UFC title opportunity with a decisive win over one of the division’s best.
Co-Main Event:
- The co-main event showcases a top 10 light heavyweight battle, when No. 3 Jan Blachowicz takes on No. 6 Carlos Ulberg. Blachowicz (29-10-1) has challenged the division’s best in his last two appearances with a closely contested defeat and draw against former division champion Alex Pereira and current titleholder Magomed Ankalaev, respectively. Now he looks for a statement win to prove he deserves a rematch with the new champion. Ulberg (12-1), division record holder for the longest-active win streak and strikes per minute, has emerged victorious in his last seven appearances with four first-round KOs and plans to show he can compete with anyone at light heavyweight.
