Leon Edwards will now fight Sean Brady at UFC London after Jack Della Maddalena`s withdrawal, impacting the welterweight division.

Leon Edwards, the former UFC welterweight champion, is set to face Sean Brady in an upcoming bout at UFC London on March 22. This matchup comes after Jack Della Maddalena withdrew to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 315 due to an injury. UFC President Dana White announced the change, noting that Brady, currently ranked 5 in the welterweight division, brings a grappling-heavy style that will challenge Edwards to adapt his training camp accordingly. Brady is on a winning streak, having recently defeated Kelvin Gastelum and Gilbert Burns.

In another significant fight, Alexander Volkanovski will clash with Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight championship at UFC 314. Volkanovski, a former champion, aims to reclaim his title after suffering consecutive knockout losses, while Lopes enters the fight riding a five-fight winning streak. The co-main event features Michael Chandler against Paddy Pimblett in a lightweight showdown, with Chandler looking to bounce back from a recent loss and Pimblett maintaining an undefeated record in the UFC.

Additionally, Shavkat Rakhmonov`s journey toward the welterweight title has been complicated by injuries and the shifting landscape of the division. Rakhmonov`s initial fight plans have been altered, leading to Della Maddalena stepping in to face Belal Muhammad at UFC 315.
