Brady Submits Edwards in UFC London Main Event
UFC Fight Night 255 took place at The O2 in London on March 22, 2025, with Leon Edwards facing Sean Brady in the main event. Brady submitted Edwards with a guillotine choke at 1:39 of the fourth round, earning a major welterweight win in Edwards’ home country. The UFC’s official London recap documents the result and the co-main event.
Carlos Ulberg defeated former light heavyweight champion Jan Błachowicz by unanimous decision, 29-28 on all three cards. The win extended Ulberg’s streak and moved him closer to the division’s top contenders. The event’s fight card also included Gunnar Nelson, Kevin Holland, Molly McCann, Nathaniel Wood, and other London favorites, but the original list contained several bouts that were not booked for this event.
Brady’s victory shifted the welterweight conversation. He used grappling to take control after an opening round on the feet, then secured the guillotine when Edwards tried to respond to the pressure. Edwards had been a former champion, so the win was an important step for Brady. It did not itself guarantee a title fight, but it gave him a strong claim in a division with several active contenders.
The co-main event offered a different kind of test. Ulberg had to manage Błachowicz’s experience and power over three rounds, and the scorecards showed a close decision rather than a dominant finish. The UFC’s official judges’ scorecards list the 29-28 verdicts and preserve how each round was scored.
London’s card combined local interest with consequences for two divisions. Edwards was fighting in front of a home crowd after a prior title reign, while Brady sought to move from contender status toward a championship opportunity. Ulberg’s win put him in a stronger position at light heavyweight, and Błachowicz faced a second straight setback after returning from injury.
The clearest record of the night is therefore the pair of headline outcomes: Brady submitted Edwards in round four, and Ulberg outpointed Błachowicz by unanimous decision. The card also included additional preliminary finishes and decision wins, all listed on the UFC event page.
