UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Brady—also referred to as UFC Fight Night 255 and UFC on ESPN+ 113—was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on March 22, 2025, hosted at The O2 Arena in London, England.
Background
This event represented the UFC's 16th occasion in London and was its first return to the city since July 2023.
Originally, the headline bout was a welterweight clash between former UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena. However, Della Maddalena withdrew to prepare for a title fight against reigning champion Belal Muhammad at UFC 315. Consequently, Sean Brady stepped in as Edwards' opponent.
A light heavyweight matchup featuring Alonzo Menifield versus Oumar Sy had been planned, but Sy pulled out due to injury. Menifield was subsequently moved to compete against promotional debutant Julius Walker at a February card.
In the women's strawweight division, Molly McCann was slated to face Istela Nunes. After Nunes withdrew for undisclosed reasons, newcomer Alexia Thainara was named as her replacement.
