3 things to watch at UFC Fight Night London
Leon Edward could pass the SAP
Manchester, England – July 27: Jamaica’s Leon Edwards warms up before his fight during UFC … more
If Edwards-Brady goes to the distance (the race is scheduled for five rounds), the first will pass the GEORGES ST-PIERRE for the second total of the overall match in the UFC Welterweight section.
Edwards would only follow Neil Magny in this section between Welterweights.
Gunnar Nelson wants to add to his UFC files
London, England – March 21: Iceland’s Gunnar Nelson sets on the scale during the UFC Race Night … more
Gunnar Nelson takes over the Kevin Holland cylinder on the main card. The Netherlands has lost two races in a row and four of the last five. Nelson is currently the leader of all time of UFC in submission wins at Welterweight with 7 and significant strike accuracy at 60.5%.
However, it has been two years since Nelson competed, with his last match coming in March 2023. He won this match over Bryan Barbelea via Armbar in the first round.
Nelson has also secured five efficiency bonuses thanks to his submission for his submission. If the Netherlands is not in its game, it can be the newest addition to the Nelson cylinder.
Fighters make their main debut
London, England – March 21: Alexia Thainara of Brazil puts on the scale at night UFC race … more
Two fighters on the card debut after qualifying for the main list for the latest season of Dana White’s series. Alexia Thainara, 27, is from Brazil.
She wrote a unanimous decision to win Rose Conceicao in September 2024 to win her contract. Thainara should do so in enemy territory as she faces Molly McCann’s homeland.
London, England – March 21: Andrey Pulyaev of Russia puts on the scale during the night UFC Fight Night … more
Russia’s Andrey Pulyaev, 27, also made a unanimous decision to win the series of candidates. He got the best of Liam Anderson in August 2024 to grab a spot on the roster. He will also have a hard struggle in his hands against Uber-Athletic Christian Leroy Duncan.
CLD, a local Gloucester, comes from a unanimous loss of decision to Gregory Rodrigues in July 2024. This match could be excellent, while at the same time putting the winner in a well -known opponent in their next match.
As the events of the day affect these views, I will replace the text with the relevant reactions. Be cautious about more UFC Fight Night London coverage over the weekend.
