Source-derived summary

UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Brady (also known as UFC Fight Night 255 and UFC on ESPN+ 113) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on March 22, 2025, at The O2 Arena in London, England.

Background

The event marked the promotion's 16th visit to London and first since UFC Fight Night: Aspinall vs. Tybura in July 2023.

A welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena was originally scheduled to headline the event. However, Della Maddalena was pulled from the contest in order to face current welterweight champion Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 and was replaced by Sean Brady.

A light heavyweight bout between Alonzo Menifield and Oumar Sy was scheduled for this event. However, Sy withdrew from the fight due to an injury, so Menifield was moved to UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song in February against promotional newcomer Julius Walker.

A women's strawweight bout between Molly McCann and Istela Nunes was scheduled for this event.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as 2025 mixed martial arts event in London. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131318784. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 2023.

Critical limits

Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
