Leon Edwards to Headline Fight Night in London O2 - 3/22/25

Former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards should be making his long-awaited return.

ā€˜Rockyā€™sā€™ title reign was cut short by Belal Muhammad last July, and fans were hoping heā€™d throw his hat in the ring to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310, but this isnā€™t the case.
Appearing in an interview during the Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai broadcast, Edwards revealed that heā€™ll be headlining the recently announced UFC London Card, taking place on March 22 in 2025

As for an opponent, it hasnā€™t been announced. Looking through the welterweight rankings, the top-ranked fighters who arenā€™t booked or injured are Jack Della Maddalena and Sean Brady. Either fight would make sense as they are tied-fourth in the division, but Maddalena would certainly be an enjoyable striking matchup.

My guess he is fighting Sean Brady, Neal, or JDM.
