UFC London LIVE: Date, start time, card and how to watch tonight Leon Edwards vs Sean Brady with Molly McCann in action
The UFC will be returning to London for the first time since 2023 this evening as Leon Edwards headlines a stacked card.
Edwards, who lost his welterweight title to Belal Muhammad last July, is out to begin his journey to win back his belt.
The 33-year-old Brit was dethroned in Manchester the last time the UFC took place in the United Kingdom.
He was originally due to take on Australian Jack Della Maddalena who is unbeaten in his last 17 fights, winning 14 by stoppage.
However, the latter will instead take on Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title at UFC 315 - with American Sean Brady stepping in to face Edwards.

UFC London: What has been said?
Edwards has revealed the one condition he asked for before accepting this fight at UFC London.
“The first thing [the UFC] said to me was: ‘We’re coming back to the UK in March.’ I was like: ‘OK, what time are we fighting first?’
“They said: ‘Normal time,’ so I was like: ‘Perfect, let’s do it.’”
“That 4am/5am walkout was madness,” he added. “I tried my best to get into it, but I just couldn’t.
“I just feel like my reactions were slow. I could think in my head what I wanted to do and what I trained to do but for some reason, my body and mind just weren’t in sync as it normally is in fights."
Meanwhile, Brady has vowed to viciously punish Edwards for focusing more on a future title shot than facing him.
“ I think that’s a bad look on Leon to be thinking about other people when all I’m thinking about is fighting him,” he said.

“He’s thinking about No 1 contenders and getting back at Belal and talking s*** about Belal. But he’s got someone who’s trying to kill him Saturday night in front of him.
