Sean Brady entered the next tier of the welterweight title conversation Saturday when he beat former champ Leon Edwards in the UFC Fight Night 255 main event.
Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who has only lost to current champ Belal Muhammad in his career, went to hostile territory at The O2 in London and handed Edwards (21-5 MMA, 13-4 UFC) a fourth-round submission defeat to propel himself toward the top of the weight class.
