Former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards should be making his long-awaited return.
āRockyāsā title reign was cut short by Belal Muhammad last July, and fans were hoping heād throw his hat in the ring to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310, but this isnāt the case.
Appearing in an interview during the Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai broadcast, Edwards revealed that heāll be headlining the recently announced UFC London Card, taking place on March 22 in 2025
As for an opponent, it hasnāt been announced. Looking through the welterweight rankings, the top-ranked fighters who arenāt 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.
