Main Event: Sean Brady Submits Leon Edwards
The night’s main attraction saw former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards (22-4) squaring off against the surging Sean Brady (17-1). Edwards, fighting in his home country, aimed to rebound from losing his title to Belal Muhammad in 2024, but Brady had other plans. The American showcased his grappling prowess, controlling much of the fight on the mat. In the fourth round, Brady locked in a guillotine choke at 1:39, forcing Edwards to tap out. It was a statement win for Brady, who solidified his status as a top contender in the 170-pound division with his first submission victory since 2022.
Co-Main Event: Carlos Ulberg Outpoints Jan Blachowicz
In the co-main event, light heavyweight Carlos Ulberg (12-1) took on former champion Jan Blachowicz (29-10-1).

The fight went the full 15 minutes, with Ulberg’s crisp striking and movement earning him a unanimous decision victory (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Blachowicz landed some heavy shots, but Ulberg’s output and precision carried the day, marking his biggest career win to date and boosting his stock in the 205-pound division.
