Sean Brady rules and submits ex Champ Leon Edwards

Sean Brady became the first man to finish Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night 255.

Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) ruled Edwards (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) on his way to submit a round 4 guillotine choke at the 1:39 mark in Round 4. The welterweight match was the main event of UFC Fight Night 255 at O2 in London.

Brady came out swinging in round one as he put pressure on Edwards to advance. The pair had a few short finals, but Edwards was free to break. Brady landed a lovely combination as he continued to sneak Edwards into the stem. Brady landed a body kick but was counterattacked on Edwards’ right. Brady concluded again, but this time he was able to push Edwards into the cage. With 20 seconds left in the round, Brady filmed a lovely trip.

As soon as Round 2 began, Brady shot a double leg to the right to secure a takedown. He was able to take Edwards’ back and hold him on the ground throughout the frame by continuing transitioning from top control to his back.

In round three, Brady tried to rush Edwards again, but met a lovely uppercut and elbow. Edwards packed Brady’s first takedown attempt, but was caught up in the mat shortly after he attempted his own takedown and turned around. Brady continued to control the ground, causing him to land hard ground and pounds. Brady ended the round with back control.

Less than a minute left to round four, Brady managed to back up Edwards on a strike and take him down. He was trapped in a single arm guillotine from above and forced Edwards to tap.

After quickly becoming visible against former UFC welterweight champion Edwards, Brady is hoping to land at No. 1 in the rankings.
