Sean Brady crushed Leon Edwards at UFC London with a fourth-round submission. This marks back-to-back defeats for Edwards, who previously enjoyed a ten-fight winning streak. Fans started questioning whether Edwards deserves his reputation after these recent performances. Many suggest his famous head kick victory over Kamaru Usman that won him the welterweight title might have been pure luck.
Critics point out major flaws in Edwards' ground game. He simply cannot wrestle effectively against elite competition. Brady proved this by locking in an arm-triangle choke during the fourth round, completely overwhelming Edwards with superior grappling skills. Social media exploded with praise for Brady's dominant performance. Belal Muhammad, who beat Edwards last time, even mocked him online after watching the fight.
Following these losses, Edwards faces a career slide. He previously expected to face either Belal Muhammad or Jack Della Maddalena, but his ranking has tumbled. Based on this impressive victory, Brady looks ready for a championship opportunity. The welterweight division keeps evolving without Edwards at the top.
Carlos Ulberg defeated former champion Jan Błachowicz by unanimous decision in the co-main event. Ulberg's quickness frustrated the older fighter throughout their matchup. He landed powerful shots that demonstrated his striking abilities against the veteran. Jan might become merely a gatekeeper considering his age, as Ulberg continues climbing toward title contention in the light heavyweight class. Kevin Holland earned a decision win over Gunnar Nelson after scoring a knockdown earlier in their fight. Molly McCann announced her retirement from MMA following her defeat against Alexia Thainara.
