UFC London Post-Fight Show | Reaction to Sean Brady’s Dominant Finish of Leon Edwards Mar 23, 2025

Show notes

Sean Brady just sent a message to the welterweight division.

On Saturday night, Brady dominated former welterweight champion Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC London, becoming the first person to finish “Rocky” when he tapped Edwards with a mounted guillotine choke in the fourth round.

Following Saturday’s event, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and E. Casey Leydon react to Brady’s sensational performance, whether he leap-frogged Shavkat Rakhmonov in the 170-pound contender line, where Edwards goes from here, Carlos Ulberg’s forgettable win over Jan Blachowicz in the co-main event, Kevin Holland looking great back at welterweight against Gunnar Nelson, Molly McCann’s retirement from MMA, some questionable decisions on the undercard, and much more.
