Leon Edwards has a new opponent in the main event of UFC London, as Sean Brady replaces Jack Della Maddalena amid a wild saga at welterweight.
Edwards lost the title to Belal Muhammad in July and was aiming to bounce back by beating Della Maddalena, but Thursday brought the news that the Jamaican-Briton will instead face Brady.
Edwards was due to fight Jack Della Maddalena at UFC London, but each man has a new opponent.
These changes are part of a knock-on effect in the title picture; Muhammad was expected to defend the title against Shavkat Rakhmonov, but the latter sustained an injury, leaving the champion needing a new challenger.
Muhammad’s first title defence was scheduled as the UFC 310 main event in December, but the champion sustained a foot infection, ruling him out of the fight.
