Sean Brady believes that Leon Edwards is introducing himself heavily for their collision at UFC London.
For the fifth time from his UFC career this Saturday, Leon Edwards will return to the O2 Arena in London this Saturday, when he takes on Sean Brady in a late notification that the main event has compiled.
Edwards was originally planned to take on Jack della Maddalena, but the Aussie was upgraded to fight against Belal Muhammad for the title on UFC 315 instead.
The Brit wants to return from a disappointing last outing, so he lost his 170 pound title to Muhammad last July at UFC 304.

Sean Brady criticizes Leon Edwards for behavior during Vechtweek
Since his loss to 'remember the name', Edwards has claimed several times that the reason for his loss was due to fighting in an unnatural time, because the main event took place around 4 hours of local time.
Not only that, but 'Rocky's' head coach, Dave Lovell also revealed after the fight that he went with a back injury and Edwards even considered pulling out of the fight.
Brady and the Brit were facing each other for the first time this week and Brady sent Edwards an ominous warning and labeled him as 'lean'.
With their fight now only a few days away, this Thursday, the American competitioner Edwards criticized for his behavior during the Vechtweek, in which he claimed that he thinks the former champion overlooks him by thinking of a rematch against Muhammad.
“I think that is a bad look at Leon to think of other people if I only think of him,” Brady began to explain to the UFC London Media Day.
“He is thinking of number one contenders and return to Belal and Talk – about Belal, but he has someone who tries to kill him for him on Saturday night and he has more things to worry than number one competition in the division,” Brady continued.
Sean Brady responds to public support of Belal Muhammad
Despite the fact that he initially mocked the matchup between Brady and Edwards, Muhammad Brady went backwards in the fight, leaning on Brady's Grijp Skillset.
“I mean, I really don't care (that belongs to me), I believe in myself, I don't care who else believes in me and that is the only thing that is important,” Brady explained.
Muhammad handed Brady his first professional loss in 2022 when he only scored his third UFC finish in 19 fights.
Although Savkat Rakhmonov is probably the next welterweight candidate to fight for the title, Brady of Edwards may be able to secure a rematch against Muhammad with an impressive performance on Saturday evening.
