This is Edwards‘ first fight back after he lost the belt in Manchester to Belal Muhammed last July.
After being at the top of the division for some time now, the 33-year-old will be in his fifth main event in a row when he takes the American for five rounds.
Brady, 32, shares a similar fight history with Edwards as he also fought the current champ Belal Muhammed when they were fighting for a top contender spot in 2022.
A win for either man will see them at the very top of the 170lbs division where they are likely to be back in title contention against their former opponent.
And fans are very excited to see some household names come to England for the first time.
Who is on the UFC London undercard?
In the co-main event, former champion Jan Blachowicz takes on Carlos Ulberg where the powerful light-heavyweights are just one win away from being next in line for the title.
Blachowicz who just recently turned 42, will be hoping for one last push where he will be hoping to fight the winner of the eventual rematch of Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.
Molly ‘Meatball’ McCann also appears on the main card where she’ll be taking on Alexia Thainara who has been brought in on short notice after Istela Nunes pulled out.
Another English fan favourite Nathaniel Wood, will be opening the main card where he takes on Morgan Charriere in the featherweight division.
Both men are rising contenders in the 145lbs weight class who will be hoping to climb the rankings with a huge win.
On the Preliminary card, flyweight prospect Lone’er Kavanagh has caught the eye of many British fans after his great UFC debut last November in China.
The 25-year-old rising star takes on Felipe Dos Santos in what is expected to be a fun striking bout.
Also on the prelims is 10-0 English heavyweight Mick Parkin who faces his toughest opponent yet as he takes on Marcin Tybura.
After losing to Tom Aspinall in 2023, Tybura has picked himself up by getting great wins against Jhonata Diniz and UFC fan favourite Tai Tuivasa.
