UFC Highlights This Week: A Star-Studded Showdown
This Saturday heralds the UFC’s 16th event in London, marking a significant milestone as the organization completes its 30th event in the United Kingdom. With this achievement, the UK joins the ranks of countries like the United States, Brazil, and Canada that have hosted 30 or more events.
Despite numerous trips across the Atlantic, it has been nearly two years since the Octagon graced The O2 Arena. Last year’s venture into Britain showcased UFC 304 in Manchester, but this time around, a wealth of talent from both the UK and neighboring regions has been assembled for a thrilling return to London.

Headliner Showdown: Leon Edwards Takes on Sean Brady
The reigning contender Leon Edwards aims to preserve his undefeated streak in London as he steps back into action following a unanimous decision defeat against Belal Muhammad last summer. Before that setback at UFC Manchester, “Rocky” was on an impressive unbeaten run of 13 consecutive fights and is now focused on reaffirming his status among elite fighters in the welterweight division.
On his end, Sean Brady is inching closer to title contention with three straight victories backing him up since his only loss to Muhammad at UFC 280. Following an impressive submission victory over Kelvin Gastelum late last year and a rigorous bout against Gilbert Burns earlier this year—both contributing to his rising record of 17-1—Brady is poised for greatness.
The fight originally had Edwards facing Jack Della Maddalena; however, Della Maddalena received an opportunity for championship contention at UFC Montreal’s upcoming event which gave room for Brady’s entry. While differing styles will impact this encounter—Brady’s wrestling prowess contrasting with Della Maddalena’s striking capabilities—the spotlight remains firmly placed on Edward’s need to prove that July was merely an aberration.
Clash of Titans: Jan Błachowicz Faces Off Against Carlos Ulberg
This clash features former champion Jan Błachowicz going up against rising star Carlos Ulberg as both aim to secure their positions within a dynamic light heavyweight landscape following recent title changes.
Błachowicz turned 42 recently and comes off two close bouts; one being a split decision loss against Alex Pereira after initially fighting current champ Magomed Ankalaev ending in another split draw at Titel Challenger by Bout Title Rodriguez . This highlights not only Błachowicz’s experience but also underscores competitive battles fought by him across distinguished contenders even without wins appended lately.
