LEON EDWARDS vs SEAN BRADY
Welterweight Main Event:
Leon Edwards is a fighter from England who has had an extremely successful career in the UFC. He is a well-known striker, and he possesses a high level of stamina.
He has fought within the institution for over a decade and in that time, he has stepped in the octagon 18 times, winning 14 and losing 3 with the remaining fight ending in a no contest.
His last 4 fights have been title bouts of which he has won 3, however, he lost the most recent to Belal Muhammad in July by decision to give up the belt.
Sean Brady, fighting out of America is known for his grappling skills and overall athletic ability. He made his UFC debut back in 2019 and since then he has not fought frequently with just 8 fights in this time period.
He has had a successful run so far to get him where he is, winning 7 of his bouts with his only loss being a round 2 TKO defeat to Belal Muhammad in 2022.
Since then, he has won his 2 most recent clashes with the latest 1 ending in a decision win over Gilbert Burns in September after both fighters saw out the 5 rounds.

JAN BLACHOWICZ vs CARLOS ULBERG
Light Heavyweight Co-Main Event:
Jan Blachowicz is a Polish fighter who possesses a lengthy UFC career. He is a feared opponent who can land brutal punches, and he is also very athletic.
He has made a name for himself by winning the majority of his fights and he fought against the top of his division for a couple of years.
There isn’t much recent form to judge him off of as he last fought in July 2023 where he lost to Alex Pereira by split decision.
Carlos Ulberg is a well-balanced fighter from New Zealand who can strike, and grapple and he has had a near perfect run in the UFC with his only loss being his debut fight in 2021.
Since then, he has been in incredible shape, winning all of his fights which leaves him on an undefeated streak of 7 bouts.
The last time he stepped in the octagon was with Volkan Oezdemir where Ulberg claimed a decision win after 3 rounds.

Blachowicz 3.40
Ulberg 1.35
PREDICTION:
I think that Blachowicz is nearing the end of his career at the age of 42 and although I believe he will last the rounds, I think Ulberg will grip a decision win.
GUNNAR NELSON vs KEVIN HOLLAND
Welterweight Fight:
Gunnar Nelson, a fighter born in Iceland possesses talent in the field of grappling. He has been part of the organization for a long time, and he made his debut almost 13 years ago. In the last 6 years he has fought only 4 times, winning 2 and losing 2 with his latest test ending in a 1st round submission win over Bryan Barberena two years ago.
Kevin Holland is an American fighter who has fought frequently since making his debut back in 2018. He has though had a very inconsistent career and he has lost 4 of his last 5 encounters. He has been finished in the 1st round of his last two fights with the latest being a submission loss to Reinier de Ridder in January.

Nelson 1.75
Holland 2.10
PREDICTION:
Nelson has proved he is a skilled grappler over the years and with Holland fighting so frequently and his poor recent form, I believe Nelson will take an early submission win this weekend despite not fighting in a while.

Ulberg by decision at 2.75
