The career of Leon Edwards as top UFC -Wyter weight is in cracks after a second consecutive loss.
Leon Edwards hoped back in the win column after losing his welterweight title against Belal Muhammad on UFC 304 in July.
Sean Brady, who has also undergone a defeat against the current 170LB king, agreed to get in at the UFC London Main Event for late notification when Jack della Madellana was taken out of the map and received a title shot in May on UFC 315.
Brady made up for his big chance when he dominated 'Rocky' on his way to a submission of the fourth round.

Leon Edwards vs Sean Brady result
There was no glove -touch before both men came out at the start of the first round.
Brady, known as a wrestler, put together impressive combinations that neatly landed during the first frame – but Edwards looked like the sharper and faster striker when they collided in the O2 Arena in London.
A journey to end the round for Brady was able to ride Edwards for the last 15 seconds.
The American caught Edwards overwhelmed by shooting for a Takedown at the start of round two.
'Rocky' remained on his back for the next five minutes to ward off strikes and submission attempts.
Edwards initially declined Brady's grab attacks and landed a few striking punches.
However, the fight soon hit the ground and he was again pulled by the 14-1 Welterweightwoman.
It was more of the same in the fourth frame, so Brady saved things a notch, and British Vecht fans started to make their way to the exit.
Shortly thereafter, Edwards was stopped for the first time when he tapped Brady's Guillotine Choke.
