UFC President Dana White has always been a man who loves to drop big news, and his recent conversation with Adam Catterall ahead of UFC London was no different. As the anticipation for the event grows, White provided a rare, in-depth look at what fans can expect from the upcoming fight card, including the headliner between Leon Edwards and Sean Brady, the co-main event featuring Jan Błachowicz and Carlos Ulberg, and most importantly, an update on the highly anticipated potential clash between Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones.

The Main Event: Leon Edwards vs. Sean Brady

UFC London is shaping up to be a must-watch event, with one of the UFC’s brightest stars, Leon Edwards, headlining the night against the rising contender Sean Brady. Edwards, the reigning welterweight champion, has long been a fan favorite, known for his gritty performances and technical striking. His comeback victory against Kamaru Usman solidified his place among the elite, and now, he’s looking to defend his title in front of the passionate London crowd.

On the other hand, Sean Brady, the undefeated rising star, is poised to make a statement. A well-rounded fighter with strong grappling skills and an unbreakable mindset, Brady has shown the potential to challenge Edwards for the throne. The fight promises to be a clash of styles, as Edwards’ striking prowess and experience will be tested by Brady’s relentless pressure and grappling game.

When asked by Adam Catterall about the matchup, Dana White was clear about his excitement. “This is going to be one of the most exciting welterweight title fights in recent years. Leon Edwards has been through the fire, and he’s earned that belt. But Sean Brady, man, this kid is legit. He’s hungry, and this fight has all the makings of a classic,” White said, visibly thrilled for the showdown.

Co-Main Event: Jan Błachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg

The co-main event is equally exciting, with former light heavyweight champion Jan Błachowicz taking on the rising star Carlos Ulberg. Błachowicz, who had a brief reign as champion after defeating Israel Adesanya in 2021, is looking to get back in title contention after his recent loss to Glover Teixeira. A powerful striker with a solid grappling game, Błachowicz’s experience inside the octagon makes him a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division.

Meanwhile, Carlos Ulberg is seen by many as one of the most exciting up-and-coming fighters in the UFC’s light heavyweight division. Known for his knockout power and striking technique, Ulberg is eager to show that he belongs among the top contenders. The fight promises fireworks, with Błachowicz’s experience going up against Ulberg’s youthful energy and desire to prove himself.

“Jan is always a threat. He’s a former champion for a reason, and you don’t get to that level by accident,” White said, acknowledging Błachowicz’s pedigree. “But Ulberg is one of those guys who has the potential to surprise everyone. He’s fast, he’s powerful, and this is a big opportunity for him to prove he’s ready for the elite.”

The Big Question: Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones

Perhaps the most intriguing topic of conversation during White’s interview with Adam Catterall was the update on the long-rumored fight between Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones. Aspinall, one of the fastest-rising stars in the UFC’s heavyweight division, has made waves with his athleticism, quick knockout power, and versatility. Jones, meanwhile, is one of the greatest fighters in UFC history and recently moved up to heavyweight, where he captured the belt in a dominant performance over Ciryl Gane.

Fans have been clamoring for a potential showdown between these two, as it pits the seasoned veteran against the hungry, explosive newcomer. But with Jones now the reigning heavyweight champion, many are left wondering when — or even if — the fight will happen.

Dana White gave an update that was equal parts promising and cautious. “Look, everybody wants to see that fight, including me. Tom Aspinall is on a hell of a run, and Jon Jones is Jon Jones. But right now, we’re focused on what’s next for both of them. Jon just took the belt, and Aspinall has been dealing with some injuries. We’re not rushing things, but trust me, we’re working on it.”

White continued, “I think it’s one of the most exciting fights that can be made in the sport. Both guys have the tools to make it a war. We’ll see how things shake out, but I promise you — we’re doing everything we can to make it happen.”

A Star-Studded Event and More

UFC London is shaping up to be an event that will go down in history. The headliner between Edwards and Brady has the makings of a fight that could define the welterweight division for years to come, while the co-main event featuring Błachowicz and Ulberg is set to give fans an explosive display of light heavyweight action. Add in the potential of an eventual showdown between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, and it’s clear that the UFC is riding high on the excitement surrounding the event.

“UFC London is a huge night for us,” Dana White said, wrapping up his conversation with Adam Catterall. “We’ve got a stacked card with incredible matchups, and the energy from the fans in that arena is unlike any other. This is what the sport is all about — big fights, big names, and big moments. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out.”

As fight night approaches, one thing is clear: UFC London is shaping up to be a night of unforgettable action, with storylines, rivalries, and some of the best fighters in the world ready to showcase their skills. Fans will be on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the fireworks to come.
