By Fernando Quiles Jr. - December 30, 2024

One rising UFC welterweight continues to knock on Leon Edwards’ door.

Edwards is hoping to start his road back to 170-pound gold on the right foot. He lost the welterweight title to Belal Muhammad back in July, which was a bitter pill for “Rocky” to swallow given he had the Manchester crowd behind him. The UFC will be returning to England on March 22, 2025.

This time, the event will be in London and if Edwards is to make his return at the show, he already has a willing dance partner.

Sean Brady Doubles Down on Leon Edwards Callout

Sean Brady recently competed in a grappling match at Fury Pro Grappling 12. He defeated Richie Martinez via mounted guillotine choke.

After the win, Brady expressed his desire to fight Leon Edwards on the upcoming UFC London card.

“I want to go to London and I wanna fight Leon in his backyard, March 22nd,” Brady said. “So, hopefully the UFC can make that happen, but we’ll see.”

This wasn’t the first time Brady set his sights on “Rocky.” During a recent appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” the number five-ranked UFC welterweight said he felt the fight makes sense given the current landscape at 170 pounds.

“You look at how everything is playing out, and who is available, it’s me and Leon [Edwards] which makes the most sense.” Sean Brady stated to Ariel Helwani. “Yeah, if you look at it, for me, historically, I’d like to go somewhere and prove myself. If you look at my first loss, it did come while I was traveling to Belal, and I’m a completely different fighter now.”

Brady has just one loss in his pro MMA career and that’s against the current UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad. He believes he has improved substantially since that fight and wants to show it in 2025.
