The Octagon travels across the pond Saturday as London, England’s O2 Arena hosts UFC action for the first time since July 2023 with UFC on ESPN+ 113. Former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards returns for the first time since losing the title to Belal Muhammad in July as he takes on Sean Brady in the five-round main event. Edwards’ title loss ended a 13-fight unbeaten streak. Brady, on a three-fight win streak, steps in on short notice to replace Jack Della Maddalena, who was pulled for a title shot. The co-main event marks the return to action for former UFC light heavyweight Champion Jan Blachowicz, out since July 2023, as he takes on rising contender Carlos Ulberg. Also on the main card is the returning Gunnar Nelson, who fights for the first time in two years, against Kevin Holland in welterweight action; a lightweight bout pitting Jordan Vucenic against Chris Duncan; with featherweights Nathaniel Wood and Morgan Charriere opening the main card.
