The UFC is on the road this week in London, England, for a Fight Night featuring a terrific five-round welterweight bout between No. 1 Leon “Rocky” Edwards and No. 5 Sean Brady. The former welterweight king Edwards is fighting in his first non-title bout since June 2021. The pride of Philadelphia, Brady, is 7-1 in the UFC and most recently beat Gilbert Burns in September 2024. This event has an earlier start time than usual, as the Prelims begin at 1:00 p.m. ET, with the Main Card starting at 4:00 p.m. ET.
Very few environments can match the fans’ energy, passion, and enthusiasm in London, England. This 13-bout card features nine fighters from England. Even though Edwards is 12-1 in his last 13 fights, he is a +130 underdog in this contest, as Brady is the favorite at -155 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The second former UFC champion competing on this card is one who possesses Polish Power: Jan Blachowicz. After two years away from the Octagon, Blachowicz is back to earn a future title opportunity. In his previous fight, Blachowicz lost a split decision to former champion Alex Pereira. Blachowicz’s last victory came in May 2022 against Aleksandar Rakic.
Blachowicz is fighting one of the best up-and-coming fighters in the 205-pound division, Carlos Ulberg. Ulberg is 12-1 while being 8-1 in the UFC. In his MMA career, Ulberg has 11 finishes, with his lone decision victory coming in his previous fight against Volkan Oezdemir. Even though Blachowicz is the much more experienced fighter, Ulberg is a -298 favorite, with Blachowicz being +240.
Kevin Holland is 13-10 in the UFC with one no-contest and will make his 20th walk to the Octagon on Saturday. He has lost four of his previous five fights and has been finished in his last two. He is facing 13-year UFC veteran Gunnar Nelson. Even though this is Nelson’s first fight in over two years, he is the favorite in this contest at -118, while Holland is -102 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Prelims begin at 1:00 p.m. ET, while the Main Card starts at 4:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+. Check out the entire 13-fight card below.
